Buffalo Sabres Extend GM Kevyn Adams

When Buffalo and Toronto square off, goals seem to come in plenty - and Alex Tuch has been a big part of that for the Sabres.

A contract negotiation that required numerous phone conversations and multiple in-person meetings across several months culminated Saturday, with Buffalo Sabres general manager Kevyn Adams calling his star defenseman to celebrate the latest step in a long-term plan that finally has the Sabres ready to contend this season and beyond.

Trades and free-agent signings made by other teams in the Eastern Conference did not influence Kevyn Adams' offseason plan for the Buffalo Sabres. He wasn't going to hand out a long-term contract to a player on the open market or deal away draft picks and prospects for a one-season rental. Either would have run counter to how he's built the roster…

Player health is pivotal to all teams, and unfortunately for the Buffalo Sabres, they won't be completely healthy when opening night rolls around in mid-October. Jack Quinn will most likely miss the first…

Right off the faceoff here, let's push back on a lazy national media narrative seen in several places last week: Jack Eichel's Stanley Cup is not remotely like Ryan O'Reilly's. That's because the Buffalo Sabres of 2023 are a long way from the Blue and Gold of 2019, who endured the embarrassment of O'Reilly winning a Cup and Conn Smythe Trophy with…

General manager Kevyn Adams built the Buffalo Sabres from the ground up, trading away established talent, and stacking the organization's prospects pool. When Kevyn Adams took over as general manager of the Buffalo Sabres, he inherited nothing short of a product that was no quick fix. To Adams' credit, he realized this, and he didn't panic, instead…

Through eye-opening meetings and breakthrough performances on the ice, General Manager Kevyn Adams identified the core players who will be with the Buffalo Sabres for the long term.

If the Toronto Maple Leafs and Buffalo Sabres score the way we're hoping they will tonight, there should be plenty of options for building a same-game parlay. The pregame narrative: John Tavares and Alex Tuch both found the score sheet when these teams played in November, and we're banking on them to do so again. Neither team should have too much…

Two of the Eastern Conference's hottest teams will collide tonight, with the Carolina Hurricanes visiting the Buffalo Sabres.

This will be the second of three…

The Carolina Hurricanes will travel north to face the Buffalos Sabres for the second time this season. As I write this, the Hurricanes have not played their Tuesday game against the Los Angeles Kings. Carolina may enter this game with a healthy six-point lead over the New Jersey Devils or a less comfortable four or five-point lead. On the other…

Leave it to just 24 hours of on-ice action, and we already have three remarkable revelations from Buffalo Sabres training camp. Of course, we learned a lot about the odds and ends, such as the golf…

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. Peterka had a realistic path to the lineup, and they now have that. Buffalo was once again comfortably in the bottom half of the Eastern Conference in scoring a year ago. But a few players showed promising signs…

Earlier in the offseason, I conducted a poll for Buffalo Sabres fans, asking them who I thought the next team captain should be. While Kyle Okposo won out and is the likeliest choice for captain in 2022-23, many also mentioned Dylan Cozens. Whether Okposo remains in Buffalo long-term is irrelevant. He will either be the Sabres captain for his swan…
