The Sabres should look to add this Red Wings forward this summer.
The Buffalo Sabres will undoubtedly add to their forward group this offseason. They are looking for help both down the middle and on the wing. Luckily for them, this year's free agency class could offer some excellent targets.
One specific player who could grab the Sabres' attention if he hits the market is Detroit Red Wings winger David Perron. While he is interested in staying in Detroit, the Red Wings have several big priorities to address this offseason. As a result, Perron's future with the Red Wings is far from set in stone.
David Perron
If signed, Perron, 36, would be a big addition to the Sabres' middle six. The veteran winger is still quite productive at this juncture of his career. In 76 games this season with the Red Wings, he had 17 goals, 47 points, and 111 hits. Overall, he provided the Wings with solid secondary scoring and grit. The Sabres could use a player like that in their top nine.
Perron is also known for his excellent leadership ability and has a Stanley Cup on his resume. The Sabres are a young team looking to break their 13-year drought, so a player like Perron should grab their attention.
Overall, Perron would be a strong addition to the Sabres' lineup. Let's see if they target him this summer from here.
