View from Sweden: Rasmus Dahlin will be a difference maker for Sabres, but when?

‘I’m sure Dahlin will help the transition, going from worst to at least decent, but changing the culture of a team is not something one player can do by himself. A lot of people are going to have to help him down the line.’

Sabres Notebook: No buyouts planned, preseason slate, Sens assistant GM suspended

‘”I don’t have any interest in doing buyouts here right now,” Botterill told The News on Friday while declining to address specific players. “With the way some of these contracts are structured, I prefer not to have a cap hit moving forward beyond this year. As I look at it right now, I don’t see any need for a buyout.”‘

Sabres announce 2018 preseason schedule

‘The seven-game slate includes two home contests.’

Clinton Arena will host NHL preseason game, according to Buffalo Sabres

‘That rink won Kraft’s annual contest that puts a NHL exhibition game into a smaller community rink. But the issue became a little foggy because when the NHL announced the teams that would participate last month, it did not reveal the site. That raised speculation that the game might be played in a nearby arena more equipped to meet the NHL’s standards, such as Adirondack Bank Center in Utica.’

Decision expected soon for site of Hockeyville game

‘Clinton Arena claimed the grand prize in Kraft’s annual contest in April which places a NHL exhibition game into a smaller community rink. Details around the game were unclear when the game was announced last month during the NHL playoffs and a site was not revealed. Orisino said at that time that that it was his understanding the league was trying to decide between the rink in the historic village of Clinton or the Adirondack Bank Center at Utica Memorial Auditorium. The downtown Utica arena would be more equipped to meet NHL standards.’

Sabres savior: Meet do-it-all defender Rasmus Dahlin

‘“He’s a little like a Peter Forsberg character. He gets really mean. He has a high temper. That gives him a competitive edge at practices and especially in games. He doesn’t lose his head, but he competes. He’s going to have more dirty tricks than people think. He’s not going to take anything for granted, and he’s going to battle for everything.”‘

Sabres’ Botterill said there will likely be no buyouts this season

‘Botterill has until June 25 to extend qualifying offers to his restricted free agents. Botterill didn’t want to get too far into that, “Right now we’re still going through our evaluation process and I’d just feel more comfortable if we talk about that as we get closer to the 25th and make a statement in general about the entire group.”’

Sabres announce 2018 preseason schedule

‘Among their other five games, the Sabres will play three road games and neutral-site contests in Clinton, New York and Oshawa, Ontario.’
