I could be wrong, but until there is some official word from either the goaltender or the team, I am assuming he will be back in between the pipes next season.

Alex Tuch Mr. Buffalo Sabre himself is the big topic of the offseason for Buffalo. At this point, it feels like he will most assuredly test the free agent market. Some still feel like a last minute deal could be hammered out with the Sabres. No matter what happens, color me disappointed that one of the biggest faces of the franchise is going this route.
