Buffalo Sabres Free Agency Plan: Defence
After exploring forwards the Buffalo Sabres may look to sign, the next step comes on defence.
It comes without question that the Buffalo Sabres need to upgrade their blueline. The team has began this process early with the signing of Viktor Antipin, but more needs to be done.
Many believe the Buffalo Sabres will try to go the trade route when it comes to defence, but on July 1st there will be some defencemen available.
With the likes of Cody Franson and Dmitry Kulikov leaving, there are players who
would be considered an upgrade.
Kevin Shattenkirk
Now this is obviously the most expensive option. At 28 years old, Shattenkirk is looking for a long term, and a big money deal.
