Jedi Council

Alex Tuch is playing in the final year of a seven-year, $33.25 million contract with a $4.75 million annual cap hit. That deal was originally signed with the Vegas Golden Knights back in 2018. The Sabres and Tuch’s agent, Brian Bartlett, have currently put contract extension talks on the “back burner” to allow Tuch to focus on the current season.

Buffalo Sabres Open Thread, Wk of 11/3

The Buffalo Sabres kept their point streak going while eventually winning a game that was level after 60 minutes. The other Buffalo team had a great win over a bitter conference rival. All is good in WNY again right? Make no mistake, the Sabres took some hits last week. Losing Zach Benson to injury, by far the worst of them all. However, they’re still looking pretty good 5v5 and special…

Things went from bad from worse last week for Buffalo. With injuries piling up, Rasmus Dahlin left to be with his fiancée who is still recovering from her surgery over the summer. The Sabres had been getting by picking up points in overtime losses and that came to an end with a couple of hidings. Now the Sabres go on a four-game road trip looking to bond and hopefully show they have some…

T McGee’s November 2025 Three Round Mock Draft

DBTB – The Draft year rolls on. And this Draft is looking deeper, and more promising, than many would have expected. I had trouble confining all my 1st round players to the 1st round… there was some spillover, which means some 1st round-caliber players will be available into the 2nd round. That’s the sign of a very good, very deep class. Will it all hold? We will see. But for now…

Score: Sabres 3 | Avalanche 6 Shots: BUF 21 | COL 34 Buffalo Sabres Goals: Colorado Avalanche Goals: Minus 1: Back-to-Back Pain This was an incredibly tough matchup for Buffalo. Taking on the top team in the league after playing the night before is a tall order regardless of the situation. Add in Buffalo’s injuries/absences and there wasn’t much hope for this one.
