Lightning’s Anthony Cirelli could be an intriguing fit for Sabres

‘Cirelli’s started to garner attention thanks to this year’s scoring outburst, but since entering the league he’s been a wildly effective two-way forward, the exact type of forward a team like Buffalo (or most others for that matter) needs. If you believe defensive contributions are undervalued, then you understand why Cirelli is such a desirable trade or offer sheet target. Over the last two seasons, he is just seventh in team scoring and yet ranks second in Goals Above Replacement on a per-60 minute basis.’
