The Buffalo Sabres are in a strong position, holding fourth place in the Atlantic Division with a 27-17-5 record, offering a genuine chance to end a 14-year playoff drought.
To enhance their postseason prospects in the competitive Eastern Conference, the Sabres are reportedly targeting Columbus Blue Jackets forward Boone Jenner. Jenner, a pending unrestricted free agent, is generating significant trade buzz, especially as the Blue Jackets are not in a playoff spot.
Acquiring Jenner would significantly benefit the Sabres by adding an impactful forward capable of playing center or wing. His presence would also supply crucial leadership, vital for a Buffalo club aiming to advance.
Jenner is having a productive season, tallying eight goals, 17 assists, and 25 points in 35 games. His two-way play, contributing on both the power play and penalty kill, would make him a valuable asset to the Sabres' top nine.
