The Sabers are the second youngest team in the league with an average of 25.75 years old.Assuming that Olofsson, Okposo and Erik Johnson will not be back, this average will drop further. The Sabers risk having the sixth or seventh pick in the draft, which has very high value. There will be high quality defenseman at this rank but we will have to wait 2-3 years before he arrives in the NHL. But they could receive a quality player in return for this choice and he could play in 2024.In my opinion, the Sabres' first need is a right-handed #2 defenseman. Imagine a Jake Sanderson ( pure speculation) in the Buffalo shirt?
So unless they receive a very talented player, such as a first-pair right-handed defenseman, the Sabers should keep their choice.
