Sabres depth chart: Where Buffalo's cap space, lines stand ahead of free agency

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Buffalo Sabres look a lot different than they did 12 months ago. At the trade deadline, general manager Kevyn Adams dealt Dylan Cozens. And before the start of the 2025 NHL Draft, he traded JJ Peterka. Two pieces of what looked like Buffalo's core a year ago are now playing elsewhere. And Adams may not be done turning over key pieces of this roster. Bowen Byram's situation is still unsettled, and Adams said he's open to a trade. The Sabres also added Conor Timmins in a trade that sent Connor Clifton and a second-round pick to the Penguins, so the right side of the depth chart on defense could look entirely different than it did at the start of last season. Advertisement Here's a look at Buffalo's depth chart, cap space and team needs entering free agency. Salary cap picture: The Sabres currently have just under $21 million in cap space with 18 players under contract, according to Puckpedia. Byram, Timmins, Ryan McLeod, Jacob Bernard-Docker, Devon Levi and Tyson Kozak are the remaining restricted free agents. The money freed up from the Peterka trade should give Adams flexibility heading into free agency. McLeod's cap hit on a new contract could be between $4.5 million and $5 million. Byram could be between $5 million and $6 million even on a short-term deal, and that cap hit would be even higher on a long-term deal. Timmins and Bernard-Docker should account for roughly $5 million of that space combined. Levi and Kozak aren't locks to be on the NHL roster, but their cap hits should be a combined $2.5-$3 million. Signing Byram isn't a guarantee, either, because the Sabres have been exploring the trade market for him. Using contract projections from AFP Analytics, they would have between $3 million and $5 million in space if they signed all of these players and between $8 million and $10 million if they traded Byram away. Sam Lafferty's $2 million contract is another one they could try to get rid of if they need more space. If Josh Doan is strictly a right winger, it seems like he'll be capped as a third-line player as long as Tage Thompson and Alex Tuch are healthy. That's a fine spot for him. The Sabres could put McLeod between Doan and Jordan Greenway for a useful shutdown line or give Jack Quinn the opportunity to add some scoring pop to that group. Doan feels like a bit of a wild card. Depending on how well he develops, he could become a top-six player at some point. He's already arguably the strongest forechecker on Buffalo's roster. He just needs to find a scoring touch, something he's been focused on during offseason training. Quinn signed a two-year extension worth $3.375 million per season, but he is still a funky fit in this lineup. Do the Sabres take the risk of playing him in the top six again? That would push either Zach Benson or Jason Zucker to the third line, where both have shown fine chemistry with McLeod. But Quinn would need to earn this spot in the lineup. His skating looked off last season and he had a dreadful scoring slump in the first few months of the season. Advertisement Thompson's move to the wing was beneficial for his production, but it made the Sabres' future at center murkier. Josh Norris needs to prove that he can stay healthy and handle the responsibility of being a No. 1 center for an entire 82-game season. Jiri Kulich, who just turned 21, had an excellent rookie season. He's better at center than he is on the wing and has proven capable of handling the defensive responsibilities of the position. But entrusting a 21-year-old with a top-six center job is a big ask. McLeod was a major success in his first season in Buffalo as a lockdown third-line center with some offensive pop. He's also strong on the penalty kill. There are just more question marks with this center group than there were a few years ago, when Thompson, Dylan Cozens and Casey Mittelstadt were the top three centers on the depth chart. It still feels like the Sabres need a top-six center, but a lot of teams have that same problem and there aren't many on the market. Can Adams add to this group? Benson showed some promising results playing with Thompson at the end of the season. His skill set as a top-end forechecker who wins puck battles and can make plays, complements the scoring threats of Norris and Thompson. Jason Zucker and Tuch paired well together when they were on the same line last season, too. But another winger capable of playing on the left side in the top six would really help the Sabres. They have to find a way to replace some of the 27 goals they're losing by trading Peterka. Pittsburgh winger Bryan Rust is still a logical trade target, and his no-trade protection expires on July 1. With the Peterka trade done, attention has turned to Byram, who is also a restricted free agent and has been in trade rumors since the season ended. While he may be looking to play somewhere where he can get more power-play time, Byram is a professional and well-liked in the dressing room. Playing a top-pair role should be enough to keep him happy if he stays in Buffalo. Keeping Byram would give the Sabres a strong top four on defense and a much deeper blue line than they had last season. Being able to shelter Mattias Samuelsson in a third-pair role and have more competition for his minutes is a better situation than the Sabres had last season. There is also a better balance between the left and right-handed shots on this depth chart. While Adams recently shot down the idea that the Sabres would consider buying out Samuelsson, that doesn't prevent the Sabres from trading him if someone is interested in taking on that contract. If the Sabres trade Byram, they would need to go shopping for another defenseman via trade or free agency. Owen Power and Michael Kesselring look like an ideal tandem on the second pair. Dahlin has the ability to carry a pair, so they could find his partner in free agency if Byram is dealt. Putting Samuelsson back on the top pair with Dahlin would not be an ideal outcome. And Timmins and Bernard-Docker would be too high in the lineup as top-pair guys. The depth chart is better off with Byram in place. If he moves, that creates some extra work for Adams. Advertisement This week, Adams said Devon Levi's NHL timeline is up to him. But he also said he'd be comfortable going into the season with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and Levi as the team's goalie tandem. That feels risky considering Luukkonen is coming off a down year, and Levi is still unproven. This is a spot where it would make sense to add a free agent like they did with James Reimer last season. Adams has more work to do in order to make this a playoff team. His stated goal this offseason has been to make the Sabres a better defensive team and one that is more competitive and harder to play against. Those are worthwhile goals given how easily this team has been pushed around the last couple of seasons. But removing Peterka and his production from the lineup without adding any proven scoring is a bit of a risk. While I wouldn't expect the Sabres to be major players at the top of free agency, finding another signing like the Zucker one from last summer would help round out this lineup. Given their lack of roster space, trades seem like the more likely avenue than free agency for major moves.

Wimbledon Day 1 best bets: Felix Auger-Aliassime vs. James Duckworth, Joao Fonseca vs. Jacob Fearnley

Gambling content 21+. The New York Post may receive an affiliate commission if you sign up through our links. Read our editorial standards for more information. Wimbledon gets underway Monday with wall-to-wall action starting at 6 a.m. Carlos Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev, Daniil Medvedev, and plenty of other heavyweights are in action on Day 1 of the Championships, but we'll focus on a couple of under-the-radar matches for our first two bets of the fortnight at the All England Club. Felix Auger-Aliassime vs. James Duckworth, approx. 9 a.m. ET You would think that the slick surface at Wimbledon would suit Felix Auger-Aliassime's offensive game, but the Canadian has struggled to make hay at the All England Club in recent years. Auger-Aliassime made it to the third round in his first trip to Wimbledon and then the quarterfinals in his second, but he's not made it out of Round 1 since. If Auger-Aliassime has his serve working and is able to construct quick points, he can overwhelm any player on the ATP Tour. When he's off, even just a little bit, it can be come an adventure. He won't love the matchup on Monday, as he'll play the tireless Aussie, James Duckworth, who excels at hanging around in rallies and making you play an extra ball. That makes this a tricky one for Auger-Aliassime, and opens up a path to an upset for the veteran Aussie. The Play: James Duckworth (+350, FanDuel) Felix Auger-Aliassime is 0-3 in his last three matches at Wimbledon. AFP via Getty Images Jacob Fearnley vs. Joao Fonseca, approx. 9:30 a.m. ET A star in the making, João Fonseca put the tennis world on notice in January and February. The 18-year-old from Brazil upset Andrey Rublev at the 2025 Australian Open, and then won his maiden ATP title in Buenos Aires in February. Fonseca has endured some dips in the four months since, but there's been much more good than bad for the teenager in his first full year on the ATP Tour. Get the lowdown on the Best USA Sports Betting Sites and Apps The future is incredibly bright for Fonseca, but it would not be a shock to see him stumble a bit at Wimbledon. We often see young players have trouble adapting to the grass courts at Wimbledon, and Fonseca caught a tough draw by getting scheduled against England's Jacob Fearnley in Round 1. Fonseca has way more talent than Fearnley, but the Englishman has a lot more experience on the grass than the wunderkind. Don't be shocked if Fearnley makes quick work of Fonseca. The Play: Jacob Fearnley (+168, FanDuel) Why Trust New York Post Betting Michael Leboff is a long-suffering Islanders fan, but a long-profiting sports bettor with 10 years of experience in the gambling industry.
