The Buffalo Sabres aren't ready to move on from Zemgus Girgensons.
According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, the Sabres have received inquiries on Girgenson's availability, but aren't prepared to sell low on the Latvian forward, despite his struggles.
Girgensons has been limited to five points in 27 games this season, after finishing with 18 points last season and 30 points the year prior. The Sabres drafted Girgensons 14th overall in 2012.
Girgensons' ice time has dropped in recent weeks, playing more than 10 minutes just once in his last seven games:
| Date | Opponent | Points | TOI |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nov. 25 | Capitals | 0 | 9:07 |
| Nov. 29 | Senators | 0 | 7:23 |
| Dec. 1 | Rangers | 0 | 9:40 |
| Dec. 3 | Bruins | 0 | 8:39 |
| Dec. 5 | Capitals | 1 | 8:07 |
| Dec. 6 | Oilers | 0 | 9:08 |
| Dec. 9 | Captials | 0 | 10:07 |
