2026 NHL Draft – How To Watch, Draft Order & Rounds 2-7 Open Thread - 
With the 2026 NHL Draft being held in Buffalo, there was much anticipation about what new General Manager Jarmo Kekäläinen would do, and if you are a fan of activity, you certainly got some. The Sabres picked up 2022-23 Canadian Hockey League Defenseman of the Year Olen Zellweger from the Anaheim Ducks for forward Anton Wahlberg and a second-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft (just acquired from Chicago). They followed that up with the selections of offensive-minded defenseman Daxon Rudolph at #4, and Russian center Ilia Morozov at #20, both high floor prospects even if they are not big swings for the fences. The Sabres currently hold these remaining picks: Round 4, 124th overall Round 5, 156th overall Round 6, 188th overall Jarmo’s Day 1 Recap “I was fortunate that I always worked with a general manager that didn’t stick his fingers in the process,” Kekäläinen said ab

Watch-Along Party 2026 NHL Draft - 
Sabres Surprisingly Hold the 4th Overall Pick After Byram Trade 2026 NHL Draft – Buffalo, New York – Keybank Center The Buffalo Sabres are used to having high draft picks after 14 years of no playoffs. It seems only fitting they have another despite winning the Atlantic Division Title this season. The Blue and Gold can make a high draft selection where there is some really strong talent. Right shot defenders Chase Reid and Keaton Verhoeff could both be available. Daxon Rudolph and Carson Carels are two other possibilities in a strong draft for defensemen. Forwards Gavin McKenna and Ivar Stenberg look to go first and second but center Caleb Malhotra is another option. That is, should the Sabres keep the pick. Buffalo is still in the market for a top-six forward after the departure of Alex Tuch. The team has also shown interest in adding a number one center. Either of those asks are likely to involve that pick. The Sabres are a

Day One Draft Recap For the Sabres - 
Buffalo Makes an Early Splash But No Deals Get Done During the Event 2026 NHL Draft – Buffalo, New York – Keybank Center The Buffalo Sabres were active before the draft was even officially underway. In an afternoon trade, GM Jarmo Kekäläinen acquired young defenseman Olen Zellweger from the Anaheim Ducks. In exchange, Buffalo sent forward Anton Wahlberg and a second-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft (just acquired from Chicago) to Anaheim. Zellweger is just 22 but already has parts of three NHL seasons under his belt. He scored 22 points in 76 games last year and is ranked as one of the speediest Dmen in the league. That is something the fast-paced Sabres surely like. He is another left shot defender at just 5’10” and 190 pounds but he has near elete quickness and can regularly find the open man on the ice. His defensive analytics were pretty good last season too, I think this is somebody head coach Lindy Ruff can work with. This is also

2026 NHL Entry Draft: Preview, start time, TV schedule, and how to watch - 
It’s been an interesting few days leading up to the NHL draft, with more picks not only in play but already moved than you typically see. A rising cap is giving teams room to add players to their rosters, and this year’s picks are being largely treated as currency to make those additions, even by teams that were well out of the playoff picture at the end of the regular season. The prospects have been watching the drama unfold ahead of the biggest day of their hockey careers, with their potential destinations changing with every rumour and confirmed transaction to shift the picks around. A different team grabbing a high pick means a different order of how things could have otherwise played out, and we’ll see which player teams had in mind when putting these trades together.

Feisty 21-year-old forward locked up through 2032-33 on a $7.5 million/year AAV contract The Buffalo Sabres have been very busy with reshaping the roster this summer moving out Michael Kesselring, Bowen Byram and Alex Tuch.

The forward has been excellent value for the money especially in the just-finished season, ending up with 13 goals and 30 assists in the 65 regular season games playing up and down the lineup. Benson then added 5 goals and 4 assists in 13 playoff games as the Sabres finally ended their barren postseason streak and were within one goal of the Eastern Conference Finals.

But Does It Work? - 
Contrary to what it may have felt like while the overwhelming majority of the Blackhawks fan base was crashing out from Tuesday night’s news — this author among them — there is a world where all of this works, where the Bowen Byram trade is not viewed through lenses so tinted with disdain as it is right now. The problem is that it takes an incredible amount of squinting to get to that perspective. Of course it can work! Just about every sports trade can work, in theory. Byram’s arrival makes him the veteran presence on Chicago’s blue line: while he’s just eight days younger than the next candidate — Alex Vlasic — Byram’s appeared in 68 more regular season games and 40 more postseason games while averaging over 20 minutes a night in both categories, an amount of ice time that typically isn’t awarded to subpar defensemen. He’s won a Cup with Colorado. He was a huge part of Buffalo’s

Capitals Land Kyrou and Byram Heads to Chicago as NHL Draft Nears | Daily Faceoff Live - 
The NHL offseason continues to deliver blockbuster moves. Tyler Yaremchuk and Carter Hutton break down the stunning trade that sends Bowen Byram to the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for the 4th overall pick and additional assets. Why did Chicago make this move? Is adding an established young defenseman the right call, or should the Blackhawks have used those assets to find another weapon for Connor Bedard? The guys also revisit Chicago's decision to pass on Ivan Demidov last year and discuss what this latest move says about the organization's long-term vision. Then, attention shifts to Buffalo. With multiple premium assets now in hand, could the Sabres be positioning themselves for another major move? Could Connor Hellebuyck or another star become a target?

How Chicago deployed its centers last season, how they performed, and what that means going forward - 
It was a little after 4 p.m. Chicago time in the second week of October when the puck dropped on the 2025-26 season, with the Hawks on the road against what was then the two-time defending Cup champions in the Florida Panthers. Visiting teams announce their starters first, and new head coach Jeff Blashill played it safe. Rather than putting superstar Connor Bedard out for the opening draw — as I’m sure the TV networks were hoping — he went with his shutdown line. He started Jason Dickinson, centering Ilya Mikheyev and Colton Dach, supported on the back end by Connor Murphy and Ethan Del Mastro, with Spencer Knight in net. The Panthers had already been decimated by injuries by that time. Superstars like Barkov and Tkachuk were already out injured, so their top line that night was Conn Smythe winner Sam Bennett centering Brad Marchand and Carter Verhaeghe, supported on the back end by Niko Mikkola and old friend Seth Jones, with Sergei Bobrovsky
