As the Buffalo Sabres press on towards next season and progress further into the offseason, this is a premier time to take a look at what they have in place already and what they are lacking. With the three aspects of the roster (offense, defense, and goaltending) all having strengths and weaknesses so far, I am going to take an in depth look at each individually, starting with the offense.
The Buffalo Sabres offensive players (more specifically forwards) includes the following players:
Nicolas Deslauriers (grinder), Marcus Foligno (power forward), Brian Gionta (playmaker), Zemgus Girgensons (power forward), Evander Kane (sniper), Johan Larsson (two-way forward), Tyler Ennis (sniper/playmaker), David Legwand (playmaker), Cody McCormick (grinder), Jamie McGinn (power forward), Matt Moulson (sniper), Ryan O’Reilly (two-way forward), and potentially Jack Eichel (sniper) and Sam Reinhart (playmaker).
