Today is a great day for Western New York hockey and the city of Buffalo. I’m hitting pause on my Buffalo Sabres preview series to pass along my feelings on the excellent news from City Hall today. The City of Buffalo has chosen the Sabres and Terry Pegula’s bid for the Webster block across the [...]

(Note: This will be a series leading up to the start of the scheduled NHL season. I will look at each player who will definitely be, or could possibly be, on the opening day roster for the 2012-13 Sabres and speculate on their potential strengths and weaknesses during the year.) Nobody had a more Jekyll [...]

Earlier this week I talked about how the Buffalo Sabres’ defensive depth could bring about a trade with a defensively weak club. Earlier this week, rumor mongers Eklund and HockeyyInsiderr both claim Sabres general manager Darcy Regier has been having conversations with Edmonton Oilers general manager Steve Tambellini. Normally information from these guys would and should be [...]

The Buffalo Sabres have a problem a lot of NHL teams would love to have: too many NHL-ready defenseman. As it stands right now, the Sabres have 10 defenseman that could play in most NHL teams’ top-six: Tyler Myers, Christian Ehrhoff, Robyn Regehr, Jordan Leopold, Mike Weber, Alexander Sulzer, Andrej Sekera, Adam Pardy, Brayden McNabb [...]

Almost a week into August, it may be a safe to assume Buffalo Sabres fans are more worried about the status of prized restricted free agent Tyler Ennis than any impending collective bargaining squabbles. Ennis was arguably the Sabres’ best offensive player after returning from a second ankle injury last season. His 29 points in [...]
