Description

Maybe Vegas needs to add a pick?

The Sabres hire a veteran coach like Gallant or Boudreau and go with depth over high-end talent. Though the talent is still pretty high with good young players in the NHL and in Rochester and with a top 3 pick in the 2021 draft.

The Sabres also have $5 million in cap space to add a player or two at the deadline if they are in the playoff hunt.
