The Buffalo Sabres brought in goaltender Alex Lyon this offseason, who has had better production than Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen over the last three seasons. Will he unseat UPL as the team's #1 goalie and play the most games in 2025-26? Sneaky Joe looks at how the Sabres may treat the situation early in the season, what happens to UPL if he loses his job, and how Devon Levi effects this mix.

Plus, new jersey numbers for the Sabres, including Zach Benson and Josh Norris. And what a recent report about Connor McDavid says about his future plans, going into a contract season.
