Buffalo, NY

Forward Arttu Ruotsalainen has terminated his contract with Lugano of Switzerland’s National League and signed a one-year contract with the SHL’s Frolunda HC. Ruotsalainen signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Buffalo Sabres in 2019, joining the team as an undrafted free agent out of Finland. His deal slid for one year, formerly kicking into gear when Ruotsalainen joined the Sabres for the delayed 2020-21 season. He kicked off his North American career in the AHL, though he earned a quick call-up with 13 points through his first 13 games. He continued the year as Buffalo’s extra forward, ultimately slotting into 17 NHL games and scoring five goals and six points.

One of Boston’s’ most optimistic young talents Fabian Lysell hopes to make a significant jump from the AHL to the pros. As he transitions to the higher level, management will focus on how his skill and work ethic will translate at the more competitive level. The staff hopes to see a major leap from the 21-year-old prospect at the teams’ developmental camp and during the preseason. He struggled early on in his AHL career but was able to turn it around during the 2023-2024 season. The opportunity is available for Lysell as the team lost goal-scorer Jake Debrusk.

The hockey world is officially in the part of summer where the news slows down considerably after a hectic couple of weeks with the 2024 NHL Entry Draft and free agency being so close together. Now fans are just waiting nervously if their team will make any moves over the next few weeks before training camps start in September. However, the 2024-25 schedules are officially out so that will be a topic of discussion for some fanbases.

StormWatch: A Way-Too-Early Roster Prediction for the Hurricanes

Buffalo Sabres have focused on signing depth players in 2024 but still have a gap in their lineup that needs to be addressed by exploring free agents. Max Pacioretty, while aging, brings experience, leadership, and scoring ability that could benefit the team's second-line left wing. Daniel Sprong offers a low-risk, high-reward opportunity with proven goal-scoring skills that could replace lost firepower. Kevin Labanc, a versatile player, could provide valuable utility and depth to the Sabres' lineup, fitting various roles as needed.
