Goal scoring from the defensive players in the NHL are not a necessity to win games, but they certainly do help. The Buffalo Sabres do not have a natural offensive defenseman (someone like P.K. Subban or Erik Karlsson) but they do have some offensive talent on their back end waiting to be unleashed.
For this piece we are going to take a look at the best offensive threats that the Buffalo Sabres have on their defensive core. The three I believe have the best shot at leading Sabres defensemen in points are going to be Zach Bogosian, Rasmus Ristolainen, and newcomer Cody Franson.
