Pre-Lottery Six-Round NHL Mock Draft

DBTB – Greetings my friends and fellow draft nerds! It’s been awhile. I’ll admit, like the down year the Buffalo Sabres had, my draft prep for this season also hit a down year. Just a lot going on and I did not have as much time as usual. But unlike the Blue and Gold, we’re back on the horse and ready to finish out Draft season strong! So let’s get into it! Like it’s older…

Total Season Stats: 36G, 31A | 67 PTS | +16 | 47 PIM Age: 28 Contract Status: Signed through 2025-2026 season; $4,750,000 AAV Alex Tuch has made a lasting impression on Sabres fans since his arrival to the Queen City back in 2021. Whether it was when he escorted the late great Rick Jeanneret onto the ice for one last send-off during his special night back in 2022 or when he shared…

Stanley Cup Playoffs Open Thread – Wk of 5/5

The second round of the NHL’s Stanley Cup Playoffs is upon us. If the first round was any indication, this year’s playoffs are certainly going to be interesting. How much more exciting can it get than Winnipeg tying game seven with less than two seconds left in regulation, then winning in double overtime? Well, we’re about to find out. Toronto Maple Leafs (D1) vs. Florida Panthers (D3)…

2025 Buffalo Sabres Player Report Card: Jacob Bryson

Total Season Stats: 0G, 7A | 7 PTS | -9 | 10 PIM Age: 27 Contract Status: Signed through 2025-26, $900,000 AAV I’ll start this off by being totally honest: I was surprised when the Sabres decided to re-sign Bryson earlier this year. Realistically, I think he could be replaced by another blueliner with more value, who brings more to the table, but alas – I’m not the GM here.

NHL Draft Lottery Thread & Results

The NHL holds its annual draft lottery on Monday night, with the lottery being arrived live at 7 PM ET on ESPN and Sportsnet. For the first time, the lottery will be broadcast live in-studio, so things will look a little different this year.

2025 Buffalo Sabres Player Report Card: Ryan McLeod

Total Season Stats: 20 G, 33 A, 53 pts, +13 in 79 games Age: 25 Contract Status: RFA – at the end of the two-year, $4.2 million contract signed in August 2023 For a forward who was nearly chased out of Edmonton for his lack of production on the top six and shying away from playing the body, McLeod did very well for himself in Buffalo last year. The 25-year-old became a crucial part…

2025 Buffalo Sabres Player Report Card: Jacob Bernard-Docker

Total Season Stats: GP 15, G 1, A 3, PTS 4 +3 Age: 24 Contract Status: Expiring 2 year deal, $805,000 Cap Hit, current RFA Jacob Bernard-Docker’s arrival in Buffalo was not met with much fanfare. In the Cozens/Gilbert for Josh Norris/Docker trade, many still have reservations about this deal. Complicating that, his arrival was late as his work visa was delayed coming from Canada.
