8.  Buffalo Sabres

Apr. 11, 2013; Buffalo, NY, USA; Buffalo Sabres defenseman Christian Ehrhoff (10) and defenseman Tyler Myers (57) battle for position with Montreal Canadiens right wing Brendan Gallagher (11) in front of Buffalo Sabres goalie Jhonas Enroth (1) during the third period at First Niagara Center.

POTENTIAL PAIRINGS:

Christian Ehrhoff – Henrik Tallinder

Tyler Myers – Jamie McBain

Mike Weber – Alexander Sulzer

Mark Pysyk

WILDCARDS:  Rasmus Ristolainen & Nikita Zadorov

Its a very good thing the Sabres spent two first round picks addressing their shortcomings on the blue line.  After Ehrhoff, there is a lot to be desired, and unless Myers returns to some semblance of the player who looked like a future Norris Trophy candidate, this could be a disaster.
