The Buffalo Sabres’ playoff run last season was a flash in the pan—now they’re staring down a brutal offseason decision: trade for Connor Hellebuyck or risk missing the postseason. With Alex Tuch gone and goal differential tanking, Buffalo needs a goalie upgrade, but acquiring the league’s top netminder won’t be cheap or easy. Rumors swirl of a blockbuster deal involving prospects like Dahlin or Luukkonen, but GMs are wary of giving up too much. Meanwhile, Winnipeg’s GM may be forced to move Hellebuyck before training camp, with San Jose lurking as a potential suitor. The Sabres’ fate hinges on how bold they are this summer—because without Hellebuyck, their playoff dreams might just vanish.
