‘Though the Sabres will seek help in goal, and experienced players to help shepherd a young roster, Adams has no interest in adding forwards or defensemen who take away valuable ice time from Casey Mittelstadt, Dylan Cozens and Rasmus Dahlin, among others.’

Sabres re-sign winger Drake Caggiula to 1-year, $750,000 contract
‘The Sabres’ priorites in free agency are to sign Ullmark, try to lure Jake McCabe back to Buffalo and add important role players who can help guide the club’s young core. Caggiula can provide leadership on and off the ice, and his speed is a perfect fit for Granato’s style of play.’
Sabres re-sign Drake Caggiula to one-year contract
‘The 5-foot-10, 176-pound Caggiula gives the Sabres much-needed depth and versatility. He’s a natural center.’

Opinion: Sabres continue to have talks with Linus Ullmark
‘My No. 1 priority would be Coleman, who is 29-years-old and made $1.8 million this past season. Since the Sabres will need help to get to the cap floor of $60,200,000, I wouldn’t be opposed to overpaying Coleman or Nick Ritchie. If Jack Eichel is traded, the Sabres will be about $24 million away from the cap floor.’
Report: Sabres asking for Peyton Krebs, Reilly Smith, Nic Hague, and 1st for Eichel
‘This may feel like an underwhelming return for Eichel, but Peyton Krebs could make the deal worth it on his own.’
Sabres re-sign Drake Caggiula to one-year deal
