Despite signing a pair of defensemen earlier this month, The Athletic still lists the Buffalo Sabres as a favorite to land Brett Pesce.
Although we’ve seen most offseason moves made, there are still a few blockbusters that may occur. One of which involves Brett Pesce, who at this point still has not received an extension from the Carolina Hurricanes.
And recently, Shayna Goldman of The Athletic listed five teams who could be favored to land the highly-coveted blueliner, including the Buffalo Sabres. Goldman writes:
“If management wants to keep both Rasmus Dahlin and Owen Power on their natural side and take their blue line up a notch further, someone like Pesce could be an ideal top-four righty.
