The blue line of the Buffalo Sabres could use some change going into next season. The free agent class this summer offers a few options as upgrades with high-end talent and some bottom-pair defenders to replace poor impact players that are currently on the roster.
In the past month, the news hasn’t been great for two defensemen that were expected to be in the lineup next season. Zach Bogosian will probably miss the beginning of the season and the news today about Lawrence Pilut’s shoulder surgery adds another blueliner that won’t be ready in October.
