Although Kyle Okposo is returning to the Buffalo Sabres for 2023-24, there are a few prospects who could still sneak their way into the lineup.
Despite Kyle Okposo re-signing with the Buffalo Sabres, there are still plenty of potential spots left in the lineup. At the time of this writing, the Blue and Gold have not yet re-signed Zemgus Girgensons, and to retain Jost, they would need to extend a qualifying offer. Further, Vinnie Hinostroza, barring something unforeseen, won’t be back.
Then there is always the possibility general manager Kevyn Adams moves Victor Olofsson, which could open an additional spot.
