What should the Buffalo Sabres do with their unrestricted free agents?
By Zach Jezioro
Vinnie Hinostroza, Craig Anderson, John Hayden
Vinnie Hinostroza
When Vinnie Hinostroza signed with the Sabres, it seemed like fans didn’t care for the signing but after this season, those same fans might’ve changed their minds. If I’m Kevyn Adams, I would definitely bring back Hinostroza. He was very solid this season and would make a good second or third liner next season.
Craig Anderson
This one was tough but it’s definitely possible Craig Anderson comes back to Buffalo next season. Even though he got injured a couple of times last year and with his age, he would be a good last resort signing for Buffalo.
He would also be a good mentor as well as a backup option for Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen. There are better options on the market for Buffalo but it wouldn’t be surprising to see Anderson on the team next year.
John Hayden
The last player is John Hayden. Even though Hayden didn’t produce a lot when it comes to points, he’s exactly the kind of player Buffalo needs. He can be physical and give the team a energy boosts. Even though he’s not a top six guy, he would be perfect to have as a depth piece.
