> The Sabres want to retain veteran forwards Kyle Okposo and Zemgus Girgensons, both of whom contribute on the penalty kill. It’s unclear if Adams plans to target a replacement in free agency if either depart July 1 – Okposo is expected to return next season – or if Granato would give more ice time to a young forward like Quinn. Lukas Rousek would also be able to kill penalties if he’s promoted from Rochester.
> Girgensons led all Sabres forwards in penalty-kill ice time this season and Okposo ranked fourth, trailing Cozens and Tuch. Adams has a decision to make on restricted free agent forward Tyson Jost, who lost his spot as a primary penalty-killer during the second half of the season when Peyton Krebs earned a role.
