‘If the Sabres are going to trade Erik Johnson – which seems inevitable – then Adams needs to add another defenseman who could be part of this team’s plans next season. Otherwise, head coach Don Granato will have fewer trustworthy options on the back end. My preference would be to call Calgary about Rasmus Andersson, who has two years left on his contract with a $4.55 million cap hit. Trade prospects or draft picks if you must. This team needs another defenseman capable of playing a top-four role.”
