The Buffalo Sabres front office, led by general manager Kevyn Adams, was tasked with finding a way to upgrade a roster that missed the playoffs by 12 points last season. Now, after a modest set of moves, the question is: Did the organization do enough this summer?
Adams, who's entering his sixth season in the GM chair in 2025-26, has remained steadfast in his belief the Sabres must remain heavily focused on the draft and development. A lack of internal improvement has been a major reason the franchise has failed to end its 14-year playoff drought in recent seasons, though.
