Schopp and Bulldog

Are the Sabres ready for the stretch run? We’ve assembled an All-Star panel featuring NHL insiders E.J. Hradek and Darren Dreger, alongside Chad DeDominicis and Paul Hamilton. We’re diving deep into the Trade Deadline fallout and debating if Buffalo has enough gas in the tank to break the drought.

Josh Allen finally gets his WR1. The WGR team reacts to the blockbuster trade for DJ Moore. We break down how Moore fits into Joe Brady’s offense and debate the high price tag: Was a 2026 second-round pick too much for a veteran playmaker, or is this the missing piece for a Super Bowl run?

The Deadline is over—now the real work begins. The WGR team goes inside the Sabres' latest deals to see who’s in, who’s out, and whether these moves actually move the needle toward a championship run.
