The Sabres do not need a center. They have
Thompson - 813 faceoffs taken last year
Cozens - 1,174 faceoffs taken last year
Mittelstadt - 736 faceoffs taken last year
Krebs - 556 faceoffs taken last year
They also have Jost. Lindholm is much better on the dot than any of those guys but they do not really need a top 6 forward. In addition to Thompson, Cozens and Mittelstadt who all had over 59 points they have Skinner, Tuch, Olofsson, Quinn who have the ability to play in the top six. Adding a top six forward takes at least two of those guys out of the top six. Strengthening their defence seems like a much higher need than another top 6 forward.
