Last season was a major disappointment for the Buffalo Sabres, who failed to reach the playoffs for the first time since 2011. Many players underwhelmed, and, as such, they’ll be tasked with bouncing back come the fall. The spotlight will be fixed on a few names, but perhaps none more than Dylan Cozens. Entering his

Last week, we looked at which teams fared best in free agency. Today, we’ll look at some teams who took the wrong approach or maybe didn’t improve their rosters as much as it may seem. Of note, this article only includes UFA signings, so if your favorite team made some trades, those transactions will not
The trade rumor mill turns daily and as the Buffalo Sabres are still in search of a candidate to fill the hole left by Jeff Skinner’s departure in their top six, they have a perfect player to fit there in Patrik Laine. As a pure goal scorer with some size and plenty of youth still
As the offseason continues to progress, fantasy hockey managers around the world have been watching each team to figure out where they can find value in the late rounds of their drafts, and on teams that did not have a lot of success in 2023-24. While some Buffalo Sabres players had a significant drop off
As fun as it is to ask “what if” about your favorite sports teams, it’s very important to remember that hindsight is always 20/20. It’s very easy to look back on a past scenario with genius intellect because we know things now that weren’t evident then. That being said, it doesn’t make pondering the past
All successful NHL teams are built through a general manager’s (GM) vision. A blueprint has to be made and executed through trades, signings, drafting, and elsewhere. There is no definitive way to build a Stanley Cup contender, and no blueprint can be completed twice. While GMs typically have longer leashes than head coaches, they still
Free agency has been fairly quiet for the Buffalo Sabres in 2024 as they have opted for the approach of signing bottom six players, and hoping that their core forwards improve strategy. While there are some reasons to be hopeful for that strategy to work, there is still a hole in their lineup that needs
The Buffalo Sabres have the longest ongoing playoff drought in the NHL at 13 years, and in their continued effort to end that, on July 5, they traded their top prospect Matt Savoie to the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for Ryan McLeod and Tyler Tullio. While the return may have been less than some have
In today’s NHL rumors rundown (part two of two), there is speculation coming out of the NHL Draft that some moves by the New Jersey Devils have solidified a big signing in free agency. Meanwhile, the Buffalo Sabres have confirmed they intend to buy out Jeff Skinner. Who might Skinner look at when he becomes
The Edmonton Oilers have traded Ryan McLeod and prospect Tyler Tullio to the Buffalo Sabres for prospect Matt Savoie, according to Elliotte Friedman. McLeod, 24, is entering the final year of his $2.1 million AAV contract. He is an impressive two-way center who had 12 goals and 30 points in 81 games for Edmonton last
All ground has been covered as it relates to the 2024 NHL Draft. Every prospect has been pored over to the nth degree. Mock drafts have been performed by everyone under the sun. We have a decent idea of what lies ahead. So, why not take a look back? The Buffalo Sabres have an important
Though a popular old adage states that time heals all wounds, we all know that that isn’t always the case. Sometimes the emotions brought on by a particular situation will fade away as the years go by, but there are some things that will never not be painful, and that’s certainly the case for the
Though the Stanley Cup has yet to be hoisted, teams like the Buffalo Sabres have already entered into the dog days of summer. The NHL Draft and free agency lay ahead, but most are waiting in anticipation for the start of the 2024-25 NHL season. It also means that there is only so much room
On Monday (May 13), the Buffalo Sabres promoted Rochester Americans‘ head coach Seth Appert to an assistant role on Lindy Ruff’s staff ahead of the 2024-25 NHL season. This move comes after the Amerks were eliminated by the Syracuse Crunch (May 10) in the second round of the American Hockey League’s Calder Cup Playoffs. We
With the regular season well over, the time to reflect back and look at the performances of the players has come. When the 2023-24 campaign started, the Buffalo Sabres had a surprise rookie stun them and make the roster out of training camp as he impressed them throughout the preseason. Zach Benson was a scoring
The 2023-24 season forgettable at best for the Buffalo Sabres and just about all of their players. Minus a few notable exceptions, everyone who donned the blue and gold this season underwhelmed in one way or another and doing report cards as we have in the past might seem silly this time around. Then again,
The 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs are underway and for the 13th consecutive season, the Buffalo Sabres are watching other teams compete for hockey’s ultimate prize. In order to win, your best players have to be at their best, and the Sabres are out of it again due (in large part) to the regression of certain
After the Buffalo Sabres concluded their 2023-24 season with a win over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday (April 15), general manager (GM) Kevyn Adams wasted no time in making a change behind the bench by relieving Don Granato of his head coaching duties on Tuesday (April 16).
