As we hit the quarter mark of the 2025-26 National Hockey League season, the rumour mill is starting to pick up. This is especially true for teams who are not off to the best start, causing both frustration from fans, media, and the teams themselves. Especially with internal personnel, tensions can start to boil over as some players feel that their situation is not the best for them.
This seems to be the case in the Buffalo Sabres organization as they are once again off to a poor start to the season. So far, the team has a 6-8-4 record and appear stuck in the basement of the NHL, dead last in the Atlantic Division and 29th in the overall standings.
