Chase Priskie

Priskie has just four games of NHL action to his name and he likely won’t see time with the Buffalo Sabres this season barring an unforeseen injury bug. However, expect him to see plenty of ice time in the AHL and to make the most of his one-year agreement.

His future is most likely not with the Sabres organization. Instead, Priskie is just here to audition for the other 31 franchises and hope that he catches someone’s eye. Look for Priskie to be a rather physical presence that he showed during his ultra-limited ice time with the Florida Panthers in 2021-22, where he recorded three hits and three blocks in 56 minutes of total ice time.

Priskie could make for a nice physical presence on an NHL roster, so don’t be surprised if he ends up on someone’s third pairing if he gets a chance to move up. There is a nominal chance the Sabres could even move him at the trade deadline to a team looking for prospects if they find themselves in the wild card race.
