Sabres have a log jam on the back-end and frankly need to find a more "stay-at-home" top pairing guy (outside of the organisation probably) to play w/ Dahlin IMO...as the 2 of them together are just scary lol... They also desperately lack top-6 scoring, which Hoffman addresses.
Not sure if adding an offensively gifted top-4 dman to their roster and clearing a top-6 spot potentially for Panarin is enough reason for FLA to do this as I'm not entirely sure why Hoffman is available in the first place? But I feel the value may be close at least? Thoughts?
