LET’S HEAR YOUR STORY
The Buffalo Sabres had themselves a busy offseason, especially when it came to their offense. They brought in an array of new forwards, including Jason Zucker, Beck Malenstyn, Ryan McLeod, Nicolas Aube-Kubel, and Sam Lafferty.
Overall, with these moves, the Sabres certainly improved their forward depth, especially regarding their bottom six. However, they also could not grab a guaranteed top-six winger, so there is a spot to fight for at training camp.
Players like Zucker and Zach Benson will surely be in the mix for a top-six role, but fans should also keep an eye on top prospect Jiri Kulich.
Kulich, 20, offers excellent versatility, as he can play both down the middle and on the wing. Because of this, with a strong training camp, he could make a case for himself to secure a middle-six spot on the Sabres’ roster at least.
Kulich has shown great promise at the AHL level with the Rochester Americans. This past season from the 2022 first-round pick was particularly impressive, as he recorded 27 goals to go along with 45 points in 57 games with the Amerks. This kind of goal-scoring could get him some consideration for a big promotion.
Nevertheless, there is no question that Kulich is a prospect to keep an eye on from here. At a minimum, he should at least get some reps with the NHL squad during the 2024-25 campaign. However, he should not be ruled out from making their opening night roster, either.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
