The Buffalo Sabres, in their quest for a standout netminder, are supposedly casting longing glances at the reigning cup champs' squad for a potential fit.
Whispers Link Sabres to Thompson
The puzzle is not complete just yet following the Buffalo Sabres' ambitious rebuild. Their prized goaltending prospect, Devon Levi, is still a season or two away from rising to the role of a starter, which is specifically why Buffalo might be looking at a goaltender.
The Sabres, a burgeoning force brimming with youthful vigor, possess a promising roster bristling with fresh top-tier talents both in offense and defense. Their goal? To morph into a formidable powerhouse in the coming years. Logan Thompson might be the bridge to get there.
This looming void is why the Sabres are on the hunt for a capable player to keep the ship steady for the imminent seasons, giving rise to the current speculation.
