@TheWire, I agree Helenius's numbers were solid last year, but let's be realistic about his role - he was 2nd line C in Rochester, not a "top-9" type player yet. He'll need to take a big leap forward this fall.
Top prospects for Buffalo Sabres

Helenius led Rochester in scoring during his second AHL season and scored two goals in four playoff games against Montreal. He earned six points at the 2026 IIHF World Championship and is poised for a top-nine role with the Sabres. Mrtka and Rudolph are noted as prospects waiting in wings on the backend.
