‘But it’s what they didn’t do that has me concerned. My issue is with the middle-six. As it stands, Peyton Krebs is slotted in as the Sabres third line center. Last season Krebs had four goals and 13 assists in 80 games. Unless he can triple his offensive production, the Sabres will be leaving meat on the bone and putting too much pressure on their top two lines. Krebs is a restricted free agent and needs a new deal and the Sabres should give him one. But banking on him to be a productive third-line center given his track record seems too risky for my liking.’
