Prediction! Injury bug won't ravage the Buffalo Sabres in 2022

Buffalo Sabres had a bad injury luck in 2021-22 season. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and Malcolm Subban will be the team's top two goalkeepers this season, with Luuukka having more NHL experience than Subpa.

Buffalo Sabres have enough players to avoid midseason catastrophe as they did last season. They have a lot of players who can step in if injuries hit the defensive rotation. They also have some players with NHL experience. The forwards are limited to Vinnie Hinostroza and Riley Sheahan. There is no other NHL talent besides Brett Murray.

NHL predictions 2023-24: Who will win the Atlantic Division this season? Picks, odds, more

In 2022-23, we watched the Boston Bruins get etched in history as one of the greatest regular-season teams of all-time. The Bruins basically ran away with the Atlantic Division by November of last year. But there's plenty of reasons to believe we may see a new champion atop this division in 2023-24. It may be a familiar team like the Toronto Maple…

Competition, high expectations at Buffalo Sabres' camp

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…

Buffalo Sabres goaltender Devon Levi will make his rookie mistakes and have a few rough outings, but he will also dazzle us in one stretch this season.

The Buffalo Sabres goaltenders have little combined experience, but they also have a lot of talent and intrigue heading into the 2023-24 season. We are halfway through August 2023, and that means the Prospects Challenge is just one month away while training camp is roughly five weeks from today. And heading into training camp 2023, the Buffalo…

Buffalo Sabres 75 Bold Predictions for 2023-24: Prediction #16

Buffalo Sabres goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen posted spotty numbers in 2022-23, but that won't be the case in 2023-24 as he figures to be the 1B. Despite finishing with a record of 17-11-2, it's easy to argue the Buffalo Sabres won hockey games despite having Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen lining up between the pipes. In some cases, Luukkonen was…

While there is always a chance someone claims them via waivers, three players on the Buffalo Sabres could easily wind up in Rochester for 2023-24. The Buffalo Sabres are not going into the season with three goaltenders, and it's unrealistic that they start the year with nine defensemen. While you could see them pull off a few trades, it's also…

All summer long, I stated why the Buffalo Sabres should NOT trade for Patrick Kane. But there is one situation where they would. The Hockey News reported the Patrick Kane trade rumors will not die down. And since he is from the Queen City, the Buffalo Sabres are obvious suitors to land Kane. But with the team still incredibly young outside of a few…
