Camp Preview: Buffalo's new additions look to bolster forward group
New faces General manager Kevyn Adams started on the job in June and made acquiring support at forward a top priority. He started by trading for Eric Staal, whom he won a Stanley Cup with as teammates in 2006. He also added free agents Cody Eakin, Tobias Rieder, Steven Fogarty and - in a move that made everyone around the league take notice - former Hart Trophy winner Taylor Hall. Staal and Eakin should help solidify the center position and provide some additional support for Eichel, who was on pace for a career year before the season was cut short due to the pandemic.
