The Buffalo Sabres have too many defensemen on one-way contracts and a top six forward who will likely miss the first half of the season.
The Buffalo Sabres can’t realistically open the 2023-24 season with their current lineup thanks to the number of defensemen on one-way contracts. While it’s true that they can (and may have to) place them on waivers and send them to the AHL if they clear waivers, like an Anders Bjork situation, ideally, general manager Kevyn Adams should make every effort to get something out of these players.
