Buffalo Sabres 2024 Training Camp Preview (Featuring Mike Harrington)
On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by longtime Buffalo News reporter and columnist Mike Harrington for an extensive Buffalo Sabres training camp preview.
Training camp always seems to come quietly because the Buffalo Bills are a few games into their season, but camp for the Sabres this time around is the start of what will be a critical season as the hockey club tries to end it’s NHL all-time record playoff drought at 13 years. Mike has plenty of thoughts on if general manager Kevyn Adams’ job hangs in the balance of making the postseason, painting a potential picture where the Sabres could miss and he still kept his job.
As for camp, there doesn’t appear to be a lot of roster spots that aren’t already locked in but that doesn’t mean it will lack for storylines. Mike has takes on if he thinks Jason Zucker or Zach Benson will get first crack to skate with Dylan Cozens and Jack Quinn, is Jiri Kulich a legitimate candidate to crack the roster, how the bottom six is taking shape including newly re-signed Peyton Krebs, which makes Mike wonder if Krebs could become part of a trade.
They also spend time talking about the goaltenders, if last season was the real version of UPL and how the No. 2 spot may play out between Devon Levi and James Reimer. That plus what Mike anticipates being different at camp now that Lindy Ruff is running things instead of Don Granato, what Buffalo needs to do to make the arena feel alive for home games again, the chances he thinks Buffalo makes the playoffs and tons more.

I am so looking forward to this season. New season…clean slate.
The kids now have a few years under their belt. The D is stacked with promise. They could be one of the best units in the league. COULD!
The bottom 6 will be new….faster…tougher.
The goaltending is young but promising. UPL and Levi could be an excellent duo..
The top 6 looks solid. Cozens Quinn Peterka have huge potential….they gotta steer clear of injury. Quinn, Thompson, and Samuelsson especially.
im hoping Ruff cam mold this ball of talent and finally end the negativity spewing from a portion of "fans."
Sabres need a strong start. Its imperative.
