Unveiled: The Surprising NHL Forward Rankings for 2025-26 That Could Shake Up the Entire League
For now, they’re leaning heavily on Raymond and Larkin and hoping for something unexpected to push them out of the mushy middle.
Buffalo Sabres
Zach Benson – Joshua Norris – Tage Thompson
Jason Zucker – Ryan McLeod – Alex Tuch
Jack Quinn – Jiri Kulich – Josh Doan
Beck Malenstyn – Peyton Krebs – Justin Danforth
Extra: Jordan Greenway
Our 90-point projection for the hapless Sabres was more based on the strength of the defense over the offense, but there are some nice pieces here up front, too.
Where Buffalo is particularly strong is in its forward depth, especially if young players like Benson, Kulich, Quinn, Doan and Krebs — all 24 and under — can elevate with more experience. Doan, in particular, is a sneakily important addition, as he becomes one of the Sabres’ best defensive forwards and should have more to give offensively in more regular minutes than he saw in Utah.
