Ryan McLeod’s one elite attribute will transform the Sabres bottom-six
While Ryan McLeod qualifies more as a depth forward as opposed to a complementary scorer for the Sabres, he possesses one ultra-elite attribute fans must know about. No, it doesn’t involve anything near finding twine over 25 times per season, though I wouldn’t rule out 20 now that he’s out of Connor McDavid’s and Leon Draisaitl’s respective shadows, but that’s for another article.
One Thing Missed from Former Sabres Not Returning from Last Season
A lot has been made about the new additions to the Buffalo Sabres this offseason, and rightfully so. The Sabres must take the next step and find a way into the playoffs, whether through the new coach, newfound speed and physicality, or a jump in development by the team’s young core.

Legendary basketball coach Tom Izzo praises Bills rookie WR: 'I love him'
Despite Keon Coleman's voluntary departure from Michigan State, legendary basketball coach Tom Izzo still has a strong relationship with the Buffalo Bills rookie. Keon Coleman’s path to the NFL was not necessarily dissimilar to that of the typical contemporary second-round draft pick. A four-star recruit out of Opelousas Catholic School in Louisiana’s Acadiana region, the wide receiver initially committed to Michigan State, appearing in 22 games and catching 65 passes throughout his two-year stint with the Spartans before transferring to Florida State for his junior season. He came down with 11 touchdowns throughout his sole campaign in Tallahassee, prompting the Buffalo Bills to select him with the 33rd overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

While Votto did sign a minor league deal, one has to imagine that a strong showing in Buffalo would lead to a return to the majors.

Last Thursday, the National Council of Legislators from Gaming States had its summer meeting in Pittsburgh.
