In this episode of Expected Buffalo, I return after a month-long break, feeling refreshed and ready to dive back into hockey discussions. I touch on the quiet state of the league, particularly after the 4th of July, and discuss some minor trades, including the Sabres' trade of Stiven Sardarian to the Carolina Hurricanes.I also highlight concerns regarding a few prospects in the Sabres' system, particularly focusing on Poltapov and Kleber.I finally present my article on Olen Zellweger, discussing his fit within the Sabres' system, his offensive upside, and the concerns surrounding his defensive play. I compare him to Crevier, emphasizing the need for a rotation among defensemen as we head into the season.As we look around the league, I mention the status of players like Dylan Larkin and Connor Hellebuyck, who remain with their respective teams despite trade rumors.02:00 - Prospect Updates and Trades04:30 - Concerns Over Prospects in the System07:00 - Recent Prospect Rankings and Discussions10:30 - Zellweger Article Overview19:30 - League Updates and Player Status22:00 - Expected Scouting and Future Plans25:00 - Closing Thoughts and Upcoming Events
