Rust would have the potential to be a home run of an addition for the Sabres if acquired. After setting career highs with 31 goals and 65 points in 71 games last season, the 33-year-old winger has posted 11 goals and 27 points in 29 games so far this season. With numbers like these, he would give Buffalo's offense a major boost if brought in.

The Buffalo Sabres have initiated a massive shakeup on Monday by moving out Kevyn Adams and bringing in an experienced replacement.

Alex Lyon's name has been floating around the rumor mill this season. If the Sabres make him available, these two clubs could be good fits.

The Sabres have an identical record to last season. The reality is, until they prove otherwise, this is just who they are.
