NHL Season Secrets: Uncover the Surprising Strengths, Hidden Weaknesses, and Game-Changing X Factors for Every Team
Last season: 36-39-7 (79 points), missed playoffs
Stanley Cup odds: +15000
Projected points: 80.5
Biggest strength: The Sabres have forward depth. There’s a top line now including trade acquisition Josh Norris between Tage Thompson (who tallied 44 goals in 2024-25) and Zach Benson. Another newcomer — Josh Doan — adds some energy on the third line and could even potentially play up with Jason Zucker and Ryan McLeod, too. Then there’s Alex Tuch — who notched 36 goals last season — who’s primed for another good campaign, and a rebounding Jack Quinn would make Buffalo’s attack more potent.
