SOURCES: Sabres Will Push Hard To Move Up In The Draft
According to multiple sources close to the situation, the Buffalo Sabres are looking to move up in the draft, specifically into the top five.
Buffalo currently owns two first round (12 & 21) and two second round picks in this June’s draft, and would really love the opportunity to draft either Quebec Remparts center Mikhail Grigorenko or Alex Galchenyuk of the Sarnia Sting...

Kevin Freiheit: Looking Ahead
With Free agency a couple months away and no Sabres postseason, I couldn't help but take a look at the upcoming UFA's and RFA's Buffalo will have to deal with.
The first is Brad Boyes, who made $4M this past season. He will become a UFA this summer if the Sabres don't re-sign him. In his first full season with Buffalo, Boyes put up 23 points (8 G, 15 A). I don...

Leino: Season Was A Battle
From the Buffalo News,

The disappointing 2011-2012 season has only been over for a little under a week, but I feel that the time is right to begin looking at what the roster may look like next season.
For this post I’m going to focus solely on the defense.
