    The Sabres exited the draft with a pair of first round prospects and Olen Zellweger. We run through the work that wrapped up the prior week for the Sabres, where Zellweger fits and what Buffalo's trade chips look like after the draft. We also discuss what's left to do in order to round out the roster and which players in a thin free agent class would fit on the Sabres roster.

    Sabres Targeting Mission
    Jun 16 2026
    Now that the offseason is officially underway, it's time to get down to business determining who the Sabres should be pursuing. We break down a few teams that fell outside of the playoff picture as potential targets not just for acquisitons, but for shedding salary in order to allow for more flexibility in future discussions. Along the way we offer up some final thoughts on the Stanley Cup Final, Vinny Prospal's hiring in St. Louis and the prospect of a sign and trade with Alex Tuch.
