The Buffalo Sabres have a lot of up and coming talent mixed in with some seasoned veteran players. This post will focus on how our forwards will progress or regress in the upcoming season.

As you hopefully have already noticed, I specified that this post will focus on our forwards. In a follow up post I will provide trending predictions for our defensemen. I’m steering clear of the goalies on this series due to Robin Lehner’s injury shortened season last year. In addition to that, Chad Johnson was unfortunately not re-signed. With Anders Nilsson being an unknown factor, I figured it was a safe bet to let fate hold the cards on this position for the Buffalo Sabres.

The ratings I am providing are based on my own personal predictions for each of the Buffalo Sabres forwards. The players will be rated on a scale of 1-7. The number 1 means the player is trending significantly down. The number 7 means the player is trending significantly up. A rating of 4 means that the player is not trending positively or negatively, but rather will have a very similar year to what they did last season.

I hope you enjoy reading this article, I look forward to seeing your feedback in the comments section.
