No team has more cap space than the Sabres do this season, so if they’re in the playoff hunt in a few months and have room in the salary budget, they’re well-positioned to try to add.

Although we’re not even two months into the season, the trade deadline is just over a month away. Where does each team stand, and what moves should they be looking to make? We continue our look around the league with the Buffalo Sabres.
No team has received more media scrutiny this season than the Buffalo Sabres. The team is floundering yet again despite adding the top free-agent forward in Taylor Hall and acquiring veteran center Eric Staal. Not only have Hall and Staal disappointed, but very few members of the team have exceeded or even met expectations this season. With failing veterans, stalled youngsters and a number of expiring contracts, the Sabres are stuck and appear primed for a fire sale and resumed focus on rebuilding.
