About a month ago, I was busy looking at as many pending free agents as I could, in order to narrow down who I thought the Buffalo Sabres would go after come July 1.
One of the first players I highlighted was Kyle Okposo, and even though I did agree that it would be tempting to add the right-winger’s scoring, ultimately I argued that the left wing and blueline would be the areas the Sabres front office would spend the most money trying to fill.
Fast forward to today, five days after the Buffalo Sabres signed Okposo to a 7-year, $42 million contract.
