For this live episode, Brandon Caputo and Jonathon Howe chat about the opening of Buffalo Sabres training camp ahead of the 2026-27 season. They will also hear and react to key comments from Head Coach Lindy Ruff and General Manager Jarmo Kekalainen's press conferences yesterday. How can the Sabres improve in key areas such as powerplay, faceoffs and not give up their identity as a hard working, competitive and structured team in order to not lack in other areas that made them so successful last season as Atlantic Division champions?

They will also discuss key roster/depth chart battles to watch at training camp and still the potential of a Connor Hellebuyck trade after he was suspended for not reporting to Winnipeg Jets training camp.
