The Buffalo Sabers are currently actively looking to expand their roster. Their biggest need is a new top-six forward, and the San Jose Sharks have an intriguing forward in Mikael Granlund.
Granlund is a player to keep an eye on this season. He is in the final season of his contract and the Sharks are rebuilding. So if the Sharks and Granlund don’t get a contract extension later in the season, the 32-year-old could be made available. If so, the Sabers should really push him.

Since being traded to the Sharks, Granlund has played some of the best hockey of his career. This past season he scored 12 goals and 60 points in 69 games with San Jose. He hasn’t slowed down this season either, as he has six goals and 16 points in his first 16 games. This type of production would be important for the Sabers to add to their lineup.
Granlund also offers value due to his ability to play both center and either wing. This would allow him to fit almost anywhere in the Sabres’ top six if acquired. So he would have the potential to be a big addition to Buffalo’s roster.
