The Sabres should make a serious push for this center.
One of the Buffalo Sabres' top objectives this offseason is to bring in an impactful center. Youngster Peyton Krebs struggled to produce as the club's third-line center, so they need a true upgrade.
When looking at this year's free agency class, one center that should be among their top targets is Winnipeg Jets forward Sean Monahan.
After multiple seasons in a row with injury trouble, Monahan bounced back in a major way in 2023-24. In a league-leading 83 games split between the Montreal Canadiens and Jets, the 2013 sixth-overall pick recorded 26 goals and 59 points. It was a strong year for the veteran, and he will have several suitors this summer because of it.
If the Sabres signed Monahan, he would give their middle six a significant boost offensively. Additionally, his high offensive IQ and playmaking ability would make him a clear choice for their power play if signed.
The Sabres have the cap space to sign a player like Monahan to a multi-year deal. Given that he would greatly improve their depth down the middle, they should seriously explore this avenue.
