The Buffalo Sabres brought in goaltender Alex Lyon this offseason, who has had better production than Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen over the last three seasons. Will he unseat UPL as the team's #1 goalie and play the most games in 2025-26? Sneaky Joe looks at how the Sabres may treat the situation early in the season, what happens to UPL if he loses his job, and how Devon Levi effects this mix.Plus, new jersey numbers for the Sabres, including Zach Benson and Josh Norris.

The Buffalo Sabres don't have the best group of centers heading into 2025-26 season and Josh Norris is the most accomplished of them. Can Norris stay healthy? How many goals would you take from Norris? Sneaky Joe breaks down why he believes Norris will help a lot on the powerplay, but also why he is not a good fit to play with Tage Thompson to start the season. What about the contract? If Norris can't stay healthy this season, could the Sabres look to move on before a no-trade clause kicks in in

If the Buffalo Sabres end their 14-year playoff drought this season, it'll most likely come from a Wild Card position. Which means, fighting with teams from the Metro Division like the Rangers, Blue Jackets, Islanders, and Devils. How likely are the Sabres to beat out all but three of the teams in the Metro?A quiet offseason from everyone, except the Hurricanes, gives the Sabres an opportunity.

Everyone in the NHL struggles against the back-to-back Stanley Cup Florida Panthers, but no one struggles more than the Buffalo Sabres. Sneaky Joe looks at the Sabres over the last four seasons against Florida, how many Sabres' matchups Matthew Tkachuk is in line to miss, and whether Sergei Bobrovsky is the one part of the Panthers that could take a step back. Are the Panthers a superteam? How many more Cups are they going to win? What's a good result for the Sabres in four matchups with Florida

The Toronto Maple Leafs have finished top-three in the Atlantic Division every season since 2017, but now will have to do it again, this time without Mitch Marner, who has left for Vegas. Do the Maple Leafs have the depth up front to replace a 100 point player? Sneaky Joe points to some of the Leafs 5v5 numbers in 2024-25 that indicate a team that is going to have trouble matching what they did last season. No one expects the Buffalo Sabres to finish anywhere near the Leafs in the standings this

Next up in our look through the Atlantic Division, the Tampa Bay Lightning, who showed signs of decline last season, but are still built to be a playoff team every single season. A group of superstars at the top of the lineup featuring Nikita Kucherov, Brayden Point, Victor Hedman, Brandon Hagel, Jake Guentzel, and Andrei Vasilevskiy is enough to lift up a horrible group of depth players. Can just six great players carry Tampa deep into the playoffs at this age?While Tampa shows signs of decline,

The Sabres and Senators struck a big trade last season sending Dylan Cozens to Ottawa. In 21 games, Cozens put up good numbers with the Sens... or did he? Sneaky Joe argues that Cozens is the same lost player we saw in Buffalo the last two years, and he is not in line for success in Ottawa. HOWEVER, the Senators should have more than enough talent with the likes of Tim Stuzle, Jake Sanderson, and Linus Ullmark to be not just a playoff team, but a team that could finish top three in the division, and

The Buffalo Sabres have been passed by the Montreal Canadiens in the Atlantic Division after Montreal found a way to make the playoffs last season, despite not being great at 5-on-5, powerplay, or goaltending. Despite having, what was maybe, a lucky season, the Habs added this offseason with Noah Dobson and Zack Bolduc to offset any possible regression. Will Montreal come back to the pack?

Last season, the Boston Bruins finished dead last in the Atlantic Division, behind even the Buffalo Sabres for the first time since 2010. Was this just a fluke year for Boston, or is this a sign of an era of bad Bruins hockey? Sneaky Joe believes the latter is more likely. A look into a thin roster, a GM that has been unable to replace Patrice Bergeron, Zdeno Chara, and David Krejci, and a goalie coming off a horrible year makes it seem that the Bruins are just a flawed hockey team.Plus, the Bruins
