Best of the Sabres on WGR: Can the Sabres become Cup contenders just by trusting the kids?

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Can the Buffalo Sabres win THE STANLEY CUP as presently constructed?

Locked On Podcast Network — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 01:58:27 GMT

The Buffalo Sabres haven't made any big moves to get better this offseason, just moderate ones like Olen Zellweger. With the losses of Alex Tuch and Bowen Byram, can the Sabres win the Stanley Cup with the roster they presently have? Sneaky Joe lays out five things that could propel the Sabres to being a team that could win the Cup. Based around big seasons from the likes of Konsta Helenius, Noah Östlund, Zach Benson, Josh Norris staying healthy, and another good goalie season. Plus, what the Sabres lines should be if opening night was tonight. And why Helenius should open the season as the team's #1 center. Also, the Anaheim Ducks are vulnerable after matching the massive offer-sheet for Leo Carlsson.

How Much More Can Sabres Goalie Room Grow? (Featuring Owen Parker)

patrick moran, owen parker — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 04:05:00 GMT

Patrick Moran welcomes Owen Parker (WGR 550) back to Talking Buffalo for an in-depth conversation that begins with Owen's rapid rise in Buffalo sports media before shifting into a discussion about the Buffalo Sabres' goaltending situation. They breaks down whether the Sabres have enough internal growth in net, debates the possibility of acquiring Connor Hellebuyck, and examines the futures of Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, Alex Lyon, and Colten Ellis among other hockey topics.

Key Takeaways

Owen Parker shares his journey from behind-the-scenes producer to on-air contributor at WGR, including lessons learned covering the Sabres professionally.
Connor Hellebuyck debate: Patrick and Owen discuss why an elite goalie could dramatically raise Buffalo's playoff ceiling despite concerns about age and recent postseason performance.
Sabres goalie outlook: Can UPL become a reliable No. 1, or is Colten Ellis the organization's biggest wild card for future growth?
Goaltending analytics explained: Owen breaks down why save percentage alone doesn't tell the full story and why context matters when evaluating NHL goalies.
NHL roster-building challenges: The conversation closes with a look at no-trade clauses, player movement, and why smaller-market teams like Buffalo face unique obstacles.

It's Argue For Sake Of Arguing Time With Buffalo Sports

patrick moran — Tue, 07 Jul 2026 04:05:00 GMT

The summer sports lull is officially here, and Buffalo Bills fans know exactly what that means — arguing for the sake of arguing. On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran dives into the “dog days” of the Buffalo sports calendar, tackling everything from the new Highmark Stadium practice controversy to the never-ending debates surrounding Bills and Sabres offseason storylines.

Patrick also gives major props to Elijah Kimble after the elite Western New York running back committed to Syracuse University, discussing why Kimble could become one of the most impactful local football players in years.

Plus, there’s another edition of Patrick’s Western New York chicken finger reviews — this time featuring Strikers Bowling Alley & Restaurant.

Key Takeaways

The Buffalo sports offseason often leads fans into “arguing for the sake of arguing.”
Debate continues over PSL holders getting priority access to the Bills’ Blue & Red Scrimmage at the new stadium.
The Bills responded to fan backlash by adding an additional open practice in August.
Elijah Kimble’s commitment to Syracuse is a massive win for both the program and Western New York football.
Patrick reviews Strikers’ chicken fingers and discusses why finding elite fingers in WNY may be harder than expected.

Peyton Krebs' future is CLOUDED with the Buffalo Sabres as he files for arbitration

Locked On Podcast Network — Mon, 06 Jul 2026 22:02:26 GMT

Peyton Krebs has filed for arbitration with the Buffalo Sabres as a restricted free agent, setting up a very interesting dilemma for the Sabres. Krebs has turned into a very useful player that is versatile enough to play on the top line and the fourth line, playing center or wing. But what is Krebs' role going forward? The Sabres are loaded with fourth line centers already, and you probably want better for Tage Thompson's top line winger, so where does he fit? Without a real need for him, and a career season for Krebs, the cost to keep him could be just too much to bear. Jack Drury, a comparable to Krebs in the NHL, just signed for five years, $4.5 million per year. If Krebs commands that sort of price, the Sabres should look for a trade or settle for a short term deal in arbitration.

If Krebs is here still, where will he play in 2026-27 with the Sabres having so many bodies up front? And we figure out what the proper level of smoke is on Patrick Kane coming home to Buffalo. It sounds like there's at least a possibility, and there is some merit to the idea, outside of 'it would be cool to see Kane play here.'

Buffalo Sabres FLEXIBILITY for big trade still exists after Olen Zellweger extension

Locked On Podcast Network — Sun, 05 Jul 2026 19:58:31 GMT

The Buffalo Sabres sign Olen Zellweger to a new three year extension, at a very team friendly cap hit, giving the Sabres room to still make a swing if they want to. If the Sabres were to get Connor Hellebuyck in a deal, only Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen would have to go back in the deal to make the salaries work. There is also the matter of Peyton Krebs' contract, which could be heading for arbitration, or even another team offer-sheeting him. What Krebs' contract comes in at will also be a big determining factor on what the Sabres are able to do with the rest of the offseason. And with the Flyers massive offer-sheet of Leo Carlsson, how does that change the state of the NHL on offer-sheets and big salaries in general?
