One of the most improved areas on the Buffalo Sabres roster this year from last is the depth of the defense. As expected, first overall pick Rasmus Dahlin has vastly improved the d-core and has had an immediate impact in the top four. This has allowed his supporting cast to directly slot into more favorable roles, and the unit as a whole is looking promising for years to come.
So far this year, the Sabres have dressed a total of 11 defensemen and really haven’t missed a beat. The list includes:
- Rasmus Dahlin
So, what’s the issue?
