BUFFALO SABRES
15-34-7 · 8TH IN NHL EAST
Sabres ongoing dysfunction got worse this week Will a time come when the Sabres’ organization takes the “Kick Me” sign off its backside?
Rasmus Dahlin - Ends season with point drought Dahlin finished his season with a seven-game point drought.
Impact After scoring 44 points in his rookie year, Dahlin followed that up with 40 points in 59 games in 2019-20. However, 2020-21 was a struggle for many Sabres, including Dahlin. Only 23 points in 56 contests, with a team-worst minus-36 rating. He was unable to find the scoresheet during the final seven matches, and had three other droughts lasting at least five games. Dahlin has much more to give, so he'll be a candidate for having a bounce-back campaign in 2021-22.

Jack Eichel - May still need surgery Eichel (neck) and the Sabres have differing opinions about the next steps in his recovery with the center favoring surgery, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.
Impact Eichel missed the final 33 games of the season due to his neck problem and it seems he is no closer to a solution. Once cleared to play, the 23-year-old Massachusetts native should get back to being a 20-30 goal scorer and serving as the focal point of the Buffalo offense.

Jake McCabe - Will be ready for next season McCabe (knee) is confident he'll be ready for the 2021-22 campaign, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.
Impact Unless the two sides can come to an agreement, McCabe is poised to hit the open market this offseason as an unrestricted free agent. With his knee injury limiting him to just 13 games this year, in which he recorded one goal and two assists, the blueliner may have to settle for a one-year "prove-it" contract.

Kyle Okposo - Looking ahead to 2021-22 Okposo (face) told reporters he didn't suffer any concussion symptoms related to his facial injury and is looking ahead to the upcoming season, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 55...
Impact Okposo failed to reach the 20-point mark for the second straight season and certainly shouldn't be expected to produce anywhere near the 65 points he put up in 2015-16 when with the Islanders. Still, the 33-year-old winger provides solid forward depth in a bottom-six role, though his fantasy value is generally limited to deeper formats at this stage of his career.

Mattias Samuelsson - Shuffled to minors Samuelsson was reassigned to AHL Rochester on Sunday, CapFriendly reports.
Impact Samuelsson averaged 18:02 of ice time with two points and a minus-8 rating in 12 games with the Sabres this season. The 21-year-old blueliner could have a full-time role with Buffalo next season.

Brett Murray - Shipped to AHL Murray was sent to AHL Rochester on Sunday, CapFriendly reports.
Impact Murray suited up in two games with the Sabres but failed to score his first NHL point. The 22-year-old has 19 points in 23 AHL games this season.
MAY 9 • ROTOWIRE
C.J. Smith - Sent to minors Smith was demoted to AHL Rochester on Sunday, according to CapFriendly.
Impact Smith appeared in just one NHL game this season and failed to record a point. The 26-year-old pending free agent has 13 points in 12 AHL games.
MAY 9 • ROTOWIRE
Jean-Sebastien Dea - Reassigned to AHL Dea was sent to AHL Rochester on Sunday, CapFriendly reports.
Impact Dea racked up 15 points in 12 AHL contests this season but was held scoreless in his lone NHL appearance. The 27-year-old forward will be a free agent this offseason.
MAY 9 • ROTOWIRE
Steven Fogarty - Bounced to minors Fogarty was reassigned to AHL Rochester on Sunday, CapFriendly reports.
Impact Fogarty scored three points in nine NHL games this season but was a healthy scratch for the final 12 games. The 28-year-old forward will be a free agent this offseason.
MAY 9 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Houser - Dropped to AHL Houser was sent to AHL Rochester on Sunday, per CapFriendly.
Impact A brutal string of injuries to the Sabres' goaltending group forced Houser to start the final four games of the season. He did a respectable job, going 2-2-0 with a .901 save percentage and a 3.46 GAA. His only poor outing came May 6, when the Penguins hammered him for eight goals on 34 shots. The 28-year-old could compete for a spot on the NHL roster next season but will likely spend most of the season in the minors.
