The Sabres are 30 games into what has been a whirlwind season. They started off hot, winning seven of their first 10 games.

The Buffalo Sabres are not a high-demand team in fantasy hockey terms. Per NHL.com's 2022-23 fantasy hockey rankings, Rasmus Dahlin is the highest-ranked Sabre at #100.

The Sabres didn't tinker much with their forward group this offseason. Kevyn Adams wanted to make sure prospects like Jack Quinn and J.J.
