The Buffalo Sabres are entering the off-season with multiple pending unrestricted free agents (UFAs). Logan Stanley is among them. With the Sabres having several left-shot defensemen and Stanley being scratched multiple times during the playoffs, there is a chance that he won't be brought back by Buffalo. Due to this, let's look at three teams that could target Stanley if he ends up hitting the free-agent market on July 1. SAN JOSE SHARKS The Sharks could be a team to watch when it comes to Stanley this summer. It is no secret that San Jose needs to boost their blueline, and they are entering the off-season with several pending UFA defensemen. Because of this, it would not be surprising if they tried to sign Stanley this off-season. They need more toughness on their blueline. PITTSBURGH PENGUINS The Penguins should be looking to improve the left side of their defense this off-season. If they signed Stanley, he would have the potential to be a nice addition to both their bottom pairing and penalty kill. Furthermore, at 27 years old, Stanley would be a good fit on a Penguins club that is focused on the future. WINNIPEG JETS Could the Jets look to reunite with Stanley this off-season? The possibility should not be ruled out. The 6-foot-7 defenseman thrived this season with Winnipeg before being traded to Buffalo, as he posted nine goals and 21 points in 59 games. With this, it would be understandable if the Jets tried to lure their 2016 first-round pick back to Winnipeg if he hits the market.
