Buffalo is staring at one of those offseason decisions that looks simple from 30,000 feet and messy the second the room starts talking numbers. Beck Malenstyn has become the sort of player contenders always seem to want, but the Sabres have to decide how much value they put on his role versus their bigger free-agency plans.
