The Buffalo Sabres have a strong outlook for 2023-24, so how will each player perform this season? Here is a one-sentence prediction for each. 

The Buffalo Sabres are heading into the 2023-24 season expecting to make the playoffs and perhaps more. Best yet, they have more than enough talent to get there. Regardless of where you look in the Blue and Gold’s lineup, you see incredible potential, playmakers, and even intriguing depth pieces.

Since Buffalo is still young yet projected to be even better for this coming season than they were last year, making these predictions will be rather fun, even if we’re only giving one-sentence outlooks in this piece. So how do we think each member of the Sabres will fare in 2023-24? Keep reading.

Goaltenders

Devon Levi: Will open the season as a 1A barring an unforeseen trade for a veteran and the potential Calder finalist will put up solid numbers playing behind an improved defensive unit.

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen: Unless he’s traded, Luukkonen will show everyone why the Sabres kept their faith in him as a 1B.

Eric Comrie: Will be the odd man out in camp and the Sabres will put him on waivers, where another team will claim him.

Dustin Tokarski: Will end up as the starting goaltender with the Rochester Americans and will try to recreate the success Malcolm Subban enjoyed last season.

Devin Cooley: Another goaltender heading for Rochester will serve as Tokarski’s backup and perhaps work his way into a 1B role.
