I could see them going in a couple different directions.
Pull a Florida from a couple years ago and sign/trade for a bunch of mid-price veterans to short-term deals, some of which may be traded at the next deadline.
They could also sign a couple of higher-priced veterans to long-term deals and fill the rest of the team from their growing prospect pool.
Given the free agent class this year and the unattractive nature of Buffalo as a destination for free agents, I think the former will happen.
