The Sabres are relying on Östlund, Kulich, & Helenius to step in & produce in pivotal roles this year after not making any external moves in the wake of Alex Tuch’s departure. The big question is, what will the adjustment period look like as they step into full-time NHL roles?

We’re back with our Season 7 finale discussing our decision to go independent, sports betting, the Hellebuyck rumors heating up again, our confidence in the Sabres’ goaltending situation, rating the offseason as a whole, and more!

An episode long overdue: our pal @nategearysports.bsky.social joins us on today's episode of the pod to discuss the Sabres offseason, if there still is a big move to be made, expectations for next season, and what happens if the Sabres take a step back. @hockeypodnet.bsky.social

At the very least, you're right about the name

I know people were excited about Wahlberg when he got drafted, but 9 goals in an age-20 AHL season is a giant red flag

Straight Up Sabres @straightupsabres.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

I have some questions about Zellweger (mostly related to his size/play in his own zone and getting benched in the playoffs), but: 1. His offensive upside is exciting 2. He's young and improving 3. I will not miss pick #45 or Wahlberg

Straight Up Sabres @straightupsabres.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

LOVE getting Benson at that AAV and term. A good deal now that will almost certainly be a bargain in the coming years. Needless to say, I love the return on the Byram deal, even if I wish he'd stayed at a reasonable price. Letting Tuch go was the right move, so it was nice to get a pick for him.

090

Straight Up Sabres @straightupsabres.bsky.social · 17/06/2026

Probably the right move. It may work for him in San Jose, but it wasn't working here. One step closer to entering next season with a reasonable number of third-pairing D men

Straight Up Sabres @straightupsabres.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

Good way to view the Tuch situation: look at the wingers from 2010-2013 drafts aka the ages Tuch would be in the 1st half of an 8-year deal (Tuch was 2014 draft). How many of these wingers right now would you be happy paying $11+ mil per year? I’d confidently say only 2-3.

Reports continue to indicate the Sabres & Alex Tuch will be parting ways July 1. Thankfully for the Sabres, an offseason that projects to have a lot of player movement combined with internal reinforcements should give the team multiple options to fill the Tuch-void in the top 9.

To be specific, Brendan had a busy week with work. I actually got lost in The Backrooms. I didn't do anything weird or discover something dark within myself. I mostly just hooped in a bizarre, oblong version of my old high school gym. The ball was square and the tiger mascot was yellow. Odd week.

021

Straight Up Sabres @straightupsabres.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

We both had busy weeks this week so no new episode but we’ll be back with a new one on Monday recapping Lindy getting robbed of the Jack Adams, Larkin being available, more offseason talk, and, perhaps most importantly, NOT a word on the Stanley Cup.

Straight Up Sabres @straightupsabres.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

“It’s not “oh it’s gonna be a problem when he’s 37.” It could be a problem when he’s 32.” On our new episode out now, we discuss the latest on Alex Tuch, goaltending next year, if the Sabres should trade young pieces for proven talent, & more offseason questions.

The Sabres’ season ended in heartbreak, but for the first time in a long time, there’s real optimism to be had. On our new episode, we dive into how we’re feeling after the Game 7 loss against Montreal and recap this incredible ride as we look ahead to a bright future.

No formal pod watch party tonight but we’ll be watching the game at Mr. Goodbar if you’re in need of Game 7 plans! Not just saying it because they’re our sponsor but the vibes, beverages, and food will be unmatched so come hangout. #thisisnotanad #okaymaybeitisalittle

Sabres undefeated in the playoffs when @straightupsabres.bsky.social does a live game watch event at a bar? Something to think about...

We are putting the bad vibes of Game 3 behind us and are LOCKING IN for the Game 4 watch party upstairs at Mr. Goodbar on Tuesday. Our last watch party was the 6-1 win over Boston in Game 4, so we’re expecting similar results tomorrow. Let’s tie this series up! 😤🦬⚔️🍻

Straight Up Sabres @straightupsabres.bsky.social · 11/05/2026

Among many other issues, this has been a brutal game for Stanley and Timmins. Wonder if we see some D pair shuffling before Game 4

The Sabres did a lot of things well in their game 1 win over MTL, between creating high-danger chances, dominating on the forecheck, & leaning into their depth. On today's new ep, we explore what worked and what they need to prepare for ahead of game 2, plus Dahlin's Norris nom.

Shocked he was nominated over Hughes, but very happy for the captain after an incredibly difficult season off the ice and a tremendous one on it

Straight Up Sabres @straightupsabres.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

This may have been said already, but Lindy is now 16-4 in game 1 in his Sabres career (only 2-3 in Dallas and New Jersey).

No sense in talking about any other contracts this offseason until Benson’s is done. What a player.

The Sabres are onto round 2 & face a tough opponent in Montreal. While the two teams share similar profiles, the Sabres have shown a versatility in how they can win games that will hopefully present problems for MTL. New episode previewing the series, looking back at Boston, & more out now.

Heads up! Just learned due to a back-end error that today’s podcast randomly cut short about 38 minutes in. That issue has been resolved and the full episode will be live across streaming platforms momentarily. Thanks to those of you who reached out and let us know!

Meanwhile, that's five straight playoff series losses for Tampa dating back to the 2022 Stanley Cup.

The Sabres also played them in 73 (L), 75 (W), 83 (W), 90 (L), 91 (L), and 93 (L)
