Thompson made a fantastic toe drag around the defender and ripped it top shelf for the goal. He'll have to earn his way onto the roster, but he's a big name to watch in fantasy leagues. Even if he doesn't play in the NHL right off the bat, it shouldn't ...

The game could've easily been higher scoring, but Ullmark kept Buffalo in it with key stops in the third period. While he allowed four goals, the Sabres didn't have an NHL-heavy lineup and the Leafs were closer to that. He played the whole game and could be a sneaky draft ...

Katchouk is just 20 years old and coming off of a break out OHL season. Katchouk will most likely be in the AHL most if not all of the 2018 season, but is a name to watch for 2019.

It was a long process to get him signed and with just a couple weeks until the season, both sides can shift their focus to hockey. Reinhart has been a solid player, but Buffalo are hoping he can become a great player. The two-year deal tells us that the Sabres ...

Hutton led the NHL in save percentage last season, and is tabbed as the "starter" in Buffalo. If he starts to struggle at all, Phil Housley could make a quick switch to Ullmark. Hutton is a solid goaltender to own and could be available later in drafts.

McCabe missed a lot of time last season and is finally healthy once again. He's an underrated player who can make an impact, though. He's a sneaky play in deeper leagues, especially for those who count hits and blocks.

He played just under 18 minutes in the victory, and will fight for a roster spot this season. It may be tough for him to crack the lineup this year, but he'll be a name to watch very soon either way.

Sobotka was all over the scoresheet and may have gone overlooked in the Ryan O'Reilly trade. He's not going to put up points often, but could be worth a look in deeper leagues.

The Sabres featured an NHL-heavy lineup and the Penguins did not, but this doesn't take away from Eichel's goal. It's nice to see him involved in the game like this, but there's no doubt he's going to have a huge impact on fantasy squads. This year, he may have Jeff ...

Thompson is fighting for a roster spot and could end up with one. The Sabres were high on him and acquired him in the Ryan O'Reilly deal this summer. He's a player who could return some value in deeper leagues.
