A lot has been written about the Buffalo Sabres' top-six forward group since general manager Kevyn Adams traded JJ Peterka to the Utah Mammoth. The uncertainty may linger into the 2025-26 season since no direct replacement has been found via trade or free agency. At least not yet.
Michael Augello of The Hockey News linked the Sabres to a possible deal for Boston Bruins center Pavel Zacha on Thursday. Augello noted it's an idea that may have to wait until the Bruins fall out of playoff contention, and added the most likely request from Boston would be a top prospect, namely Konsta Helenius or Noah Ostlund.
