The Buffalo Sabres reportedly have good odds to land Matthew Tkachuk, per an article posted by WYRK. This gives them the fourth-highest odds of landing the 24-year-old winger. And although I laid out a trade scenario in a previous article, I did state that I do not believe a trade would happen. Not only did I not believe the Buffalo Sabres would…

The Chicago Blackhawks capped off their worst season since 2005-06 with a 3-2 overtime loss to the Buffalo Sabres Friday night.

Yesterday, I wrote about what looked like the final preseason lineup at forward for the Buffalo Sabres in 2022-23.

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.
