#Sabres prospect David Bedkowski spoke with me about many topics including what #LetsGoBuffalo is looking from him to sign his #NHL contract, inspiration of his tattoos, why playing a hard-nosed game is important to his success, & goals for his final junior season in the #OHL.

🥊 #Sabres 2025 3rd round prospect defenceman David Bedkowski of the Ottawa 67’s drops the gloves with Niagara IceDogs Christian Colosimo. A heavyweight tilt for the #OHL as Bedkowski stands at 6’6, 220 lbs, while Colosimi is 6’5, 220 lbs. Win to #38. #Sabrehood #LetsGoBuffalo

📍Meridian Centre for IceDogs vs 67’s on a Thursday night. #Sabres 2025 3rd round prospect David Bedkowski is in town with Ottawa, close to the Buffalo border for one of his only trips this season. A postgame chat later for content on @armchairgmsnetwork.bsky.social. #LetsGoBuffalo #Sabrehood

The #OHL has seen a significant influx of new players enter the league over the past two seasons as a result of the agreement to allow NCAA commitments to enter the league & vice versa. Commissioner Bryan Crawford outlined why it was a welcomed move for the changing landscape.

#Sabres 22-year-old F Jiri Kulich was limited to only 12 games last season due to a potential career-altering blood clot. Last night, Kulich played in only his second game back & scored the game-winning goal for Buffalo in their home opener. Hockey is the best. #LetsGoBuffalo

23-year-old defenceman Owen Power’s #NHL career-high in points is 40 back in 2024-25 but the Mississauga, ON native has every opportunity, with Bowen Byram gone, to run the second PP unit and create more offence on the second pair for the #Sabres in 2026-27. #Sabrehood

Brandon Caputo @brandoncaputo.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

With Luukkonen leaving today’s game, the #Sabres preseason injury list continues to rise. Forwards: Jiri Kulich Defencemen: Mattias Samuelsson, Olen Zellweger Goalies: Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, Alex Lyon. #LetsGoBuffalo open the regular season on Thursday. Will hope to get healthier by then.

Sticking to my guns after two weeks of the regular season, with some (not all) top #NHL affiliated players now back with their #OHL clubs for 2026-27.

Brandon Caputo @brandoncaputo.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Lines for tonight's Oshawa Generals @ Guelph Storm matchup. The #MemorialCup host Guelph squad looking more like themselves, getting some much needed reinforcements back in the lineup after many absentees away at #NHL training camps on #OHL Opening Week. #StormCity #GoGensGo

Brandon Caputo @brandoncaputo.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

The #Sabres add a veteran D in Matt Grzelcyk, who’s almost played in 600 NHL games, to help while Mattias Samuelsson and Olen Zellweger are on the shelf, with the NHL regular season set to begin next week. #Sabrehood

Brandon Caputo @brandoncaputo.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Great speaking with #OHL Commissioner Bryan Crawford this week as he outlined what the league is looking to do in terms of areas for growth, going into the immediate future.

Brandon Caputo @brandoncaputo.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Apologize in advance to all non-Atlanta Falcons #NFL fans for having to watch them three straight weeks in Primetime, beginning tonight. I don’t even want to watch myself, as a supporter. #RiseUp

Brandon Caputo @brandoncaputo.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Tonight’s #Sabres lineup in their preseason opener against the Penguins will be more of a Rochester looking roster, but still a good opportunity for those to showcase that they’re capable of being part of the big club when the season starts and into the future. #Sabrehood

Brandon Caputo @brandoncaputo.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

#Sabres captain Rasmus Dahlin had 74 points in 77 games last #NHL season, along with 14 points in 13 playoff games, while playing through some difficult family circumstances. He still put up strong enough numbers to be in Top 3 consideration as the league’s best defenceman.

Brandon Caputo @brandoncaputo.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Former #OHL MVP & Goaltender of the Year Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is focused on being a part of the Buffalo #Sabres long-term, despite the rumours swirling. The 🇫🇮 netminder has been part of the #LetsGoBuffalo organization since they selected him in the second round, back in 2017.

Brandon Caputo @brandoncaputo.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Great new feature by The Score App as #CHL games have now been added as score updates & push notifications this 2026-27 season. All three leagues under the umbrella are available nightly in the #OHL, #WHL & #QMJHL.

Brandon Caputo @brandoncaputo.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

The Buffalo #Sabres will attempt to replace the goals & points on the wing lost in Alex Tuch’s departure with young players. Jack Quinn, the not to be forgotten & soon to be 25-year-old, had a career-high 20 goals & 51 points in a full 82-game season in 2025-26 for #Sabrehood

Brandon Caputo @brandoncaputo.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Great read as the OHL has high hopes of going back-to-back for the NHL Calder Trophy since Jeff Skinner (Kitchener to Carolina) & Gabriel Landeskog (Kitchener to Colorado) did it from 2010-12. Matthew Schaefer got it done in the first leg, can one of these four complete it?

Brandon Caputo @brandoncaputo.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Last season’s epic 8-7 home victory by the #Sabres over Tampa Bay was considered a launching pad for Buffalo’s run to the Stanley Cup Playoffs, snapping a 14-season playoff drought. The play-by-play voice of #LetsGoBuffalo Dan Dunleavy describes just how special it was for all.

Brandon Caputo @brandoncaputo.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

📍Harborcenter in Buffalo, NY for the 2026 #Sabres Prospects Challenge against the Bruins. Plan to speak with current #OHL’ers on #LetsGoBuffalo’s side in David Bedkowski (OTT), Doman Szongoth (SOO), and JC Lemieux (SBY).

Brandon Caputo @brandoncaputo.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

A bucket list chat for me as I had the opportunity to speak with Buffalo #Sabres play-by-play voice Dan Dunleavy. Some great stories about the late Rick Jeanneret, honesty in filling in for a legend, carving his own path in broadcasting, & more on the current #Sabrehood squad.

Brandon Caputo @brandoncaputo.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Nice piece on five #OHL players to watch for the upcoming 2026-27 season, who are eligible for the 2027 #NHL Entry Draft.

“His favourite Windsor-style pizza is a slice of Antonino’s Original.” 🍕 ^Hardest hitting answer from my chat with Spitfires great and current #NHL star Wyatt Johnston. #TexasHockey #OHL #WindsorSpitfires

Brandon Caputo @brandoncaputo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

As Lance Lysowski said earlier, Lindy Ruff and F Chris Kreider spent three seasons together in New York from 2017-20. Could the 35-year-old be a veteran top-six presence that the Buffalo #Sabres find useful, now that he’s available on the free agent market going into camp? #LetsGoBuffalo

000

Brandon Caputo @brandoncaputo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

At the end of last season, I was able to catch up with #NHL star forward Wyatt Johnston about his time in the #OHL. The Dallas Stars (#TexasHockey) forward is one of the highest IQ players and credits a lot of that to his time with Windsor Spitfires, achieving many accolades.

Brandon Caputo @brandoncaputo.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

After an impressive #WHL career in Prince Albert, #Sabres 2026 4th overall pick D Dax Rudolph will play at the University of Denver this NCAA season, as well as factor in on the backend for Hockey Canada at the World Juniors this winter. A gifted offensive player. #LetsGoBuffalo

This off-season Buffalo traded Bowen Byram to Chicago. Three days later, Olen Zellweger was acquired from Anaheim. Zellweger is positioned to fill the hole left by Byram’s departure, as a high-speed, puck moving, defender. #Sabrehood 🗞️READ IN FULL: www.armchairgmsports.com/post/the-rig...

The #Sabres lock in depth defender Zach Metsa for one-year at $900k AAV, which will kick in for the 2027-28 season. #73 still has a year left on his current deal at $850k AAV. #LetsGoBuffalo #Sabrehood

The #Sabres are entering a season having lost two key contributors in F Alex Tuch & D Bowen Byram. Brandon Caputo & Austin Broad discuss who (newcomers or young players) could potentially step into elevated roles for Buffalo. #LetsGoBuffalo #Sabrehood youtu.be/_MdcyPaQr5c?...

Peyton Krebs, a #WHL graduate, was a versatile utility forward for Buffalo & had a career-best season in the NHL with 12 goals & 39 points, playing up & down the lineup wherever needed. The 25-year-old signed a four-year extension with the #Sabres this off-season worth 4.5 mil AAV. #LetsGoBuffalo

Brandon Caputo @brandoncaputo.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Last night on our Season Premiere episode, we discussed whether moving Buffalo #Sabres star F Tage Thompson from centre to right wing full-time would be better for the overall depth of the lineup? Pros/cons to both options, but will be interesting to monitor come training camp. #LetsGoBuffalo

It’s September 1st which means we’re back for our full-time Buffalo Sabres coverage for 2026-27 on @armchairgmsnetwork.bsky.social. We’ll be live tonight for the Season Premiere episode of Sabres Semantics discussing the off-season, training camp battles, potential moves & storylines to watch.

San Jose Sharks 2025 2nd round defenceman Haoxi Wang has officially joined Boston University as a freshman. The 19-year-old, 6’5, 223 lbs, left-shot played in 57 games split between the Oshawa Generals & the Niagara IceDogs post-#OHL trade deadline last season. #TheFutureIsTeal #SJSharks

Outlining the Buffalo #Sabres 2026 off-season of many changes, but necessary in order to fit some significant re-signings now & going into the future. Did they do enough to compete in a super competitive Atlantic? We’ll discuss on tomorrow’s Season Premiere of Sabres Semantics. #LetsGoBuffalo

Solid contrast look into the upcoming #MemorialCup host Storm, who are loading up, & a Niagara IceDogs team who traded Guelph their best players in Ryan Roobroeck (#Blackhawks) & Ethan Czata (#GoBolts) for futures, working with with an overhauled #OHL front office/coaching staff.
