The Buffalo Sabres are looking to sign left-handed defenseman Johnny Oduya. Oduya is an unrestricted free agent, who spent the past four seasons with the Chicago Blackhawks. The 33 year old veteran won two Stanley Cups with the Blackhawks.

Sabres general manager Tim Murray said Oduya is his top target, but he is considering other options:

(Oduya) hasn't signed anywhere yet, so I haven't moved on. 
We're still talking trades with teams. We're still talking about a couple guys that are still out there, but there's no hurry.

Oduya is waiting to see if the Blackhawks offer him a contract, before he signs with the Buffalo Sabres.
