Who Are The Three Most Important Sabres to Getting Back to the Playoffs?

[Porous Five Hole]

Saw an unremarkable article alluding to this and it got me thinking.  Who is it for you and why?

To me, Tage & Dahlin are not question marks.  So I vote UPL, Kesselring, and Norris.
 

While I don’t believe in UPL, he’s plan A in the crease in 2025-26. It is what it is.

Kess is such an upgrade from Clifton/Muel/Henri. Aside from being better than those guys, his impact on Power’s game is being counted upon. No pressure, kid…

To me, Norris was the better player in the Cozens trade. Dylan’s time was up here. But if he only plays 50 games, then the center spine is in big, big trouble.

There are so many guys who could earn honorable mention that it’ll be interesting to hear your thoughts…
