What should the Buffalo Sabres do in free agency?

As we looked yesterday at a few goaltenders the Buffalo Sabres should target in this upcoming free agent period, today, we’ll do the opposite, looking at five netminders the team should avoid.

Again, first, we’ll start with a quick reminder of what the Buffalo Sabres’ situation in terms of goaltending looks like heading into this offseason:

Currently Locked Up

  1. Robin Lehner
  2. Linus Ullmark

Pending UFAs

  1. Chad Johnson

Pending RFAs

  1. Jason Kasdorf
  2. Nathan Lieuwen
  3. Andrey Makarov

Again – Makarov is almost certainly gone, if his public comments about the Buffalo Sabres and the city are any indication. The Sabres certainly have some room to work with – but here are five guys that Tim Murray shouldn’t consider.

Next: Dan Ellis Is A No.
