Who will have biggest 2026-27 impact for Sabres: Kulich, Helenius or Ostlund? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Buffalo Sabres have had a busy offseason but there are some notable departures that require addressing. Rather than taking a big swing and potentially overpaying, general manager Jarmo Kekalainen has remained patient and held his ground. With the departures of Bowen Byram and Alex Tuch, the Sabres have some offense to replace. If they don’t opt to take a huge swing, they have a trio of young, exciting players that they will be leaning on this season: Jiri Kulich, Konsta Helenius, and Noah Os

In the doldrums of the NHL offseason, there are only so many angles one can take on the current state of the Buffalo Sabres roster. General manager Jarmo Kekalainen has already done a masterful job of setting the Sabres up for long-term success, but the season is still months away. With that in mind, it is fun to take a look back in time and wonder: What if? It’s fun to think about what the team would have looked like if they hit on big draft picks, but there’s an even more fun “What if?” to con
