From Friedman’s 32 Thoughts Buffalo: Word is the Sabres and Victor Olofsson are making progress on an extension. Craig Anderson is back, but the Sabres continue to examine the goalie market — knowing his workload can’t be too heavy. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is an option, but they’re looking at all external options.

Or, if something really interesting comes along.

I’ll add there was discussion on the Most Recent 32 Thoughts Podcast about the fact that LA has been having issues developing some prospects.

On interesting side note Is Fedotov’s Team is CSKA which is the Red Army and also Putin’s Favorite KHL Team. I wonder if this will apply to all players in Russia or only those from CSKA. From a Sabres Perspective Prokhor Poltapov also plays for the same organization but he is signed through the 2024-25 Season anyways and a lot can happen in 3 seasons
