Lance and Joe are back again and this time they've got Peyton Krebs' new contract to talk about, just like they knew they would. But wait, there's more.The Sabres wrapped up the Prospects Challenge this week and it was very difficult to leave that and wonder how Jiri Kulich finds his way on the Sabres roster this season. But will he? Hmm...There are loads of position battles, players to pick from, and hard decisions ahead for Lindy Ruff and Kevyn Adams when training camp opens on Wednesday morning and the guys go over as much of it as they can before they hit the ice.

Episode 88: Naptime over, it's Sabres Prospects Challenge time
When last you heard from Lance and Joe, it was early July and the Buffalo Sabres had just made a massive trade and then the team did virtually nothing else since! The nerve! The guys are back this week talking all about the Sabres' star-studded lineup for the annual Prospects Challenge and they each pick three players they're excited to watch closely. With five first-round picks to choose from, surely some of them will be part of the fun, provided they don't try to one-up each other with different players.They also take some time out to discuss Peyton Krebs being--as of the recording in the mid-afternoon of September 12--still unsigned and what the heck is even going on there.Thanks for listening and thanks for letting us know you're enjoying the pod.Follow Lance and Joe on Twitter!Read Lance's work at The Buffalo NewsRead Joe's work at Noted Hockey and Bleacher ReportBig thanks to our musician friends --Intro: MerlinBerlin -- "Orbit" - Find them on BandcampOutro: Chips 'N Cellos -- Boss Fight (Sabre Dance, Khachaturian) - Find them on Bandcamp

Episode 87: Sabres offseason and the Matt Savoie trade
Savor the summertime because Lance and Joe are back and so is the Buffalo Sabres offseason discussion.The guys took in the draft in Las Vegas, but the real buzz went down when the Sabres traded Matt Savoie to the Edmonton Oilers for Ryan McLeod. They'll break down the move, why it went down, what the team should do next, and how the lineup sets up. As part of that, they'll get into the signings of Jason Zucker and Nicolas Aube-Kubel, trading for Beck Malenstyn, and the buyout of Jeff Skinner (oh right, that happened too). They'll talk about what more is to come this summer (if anything) and how the roster sets up throughout the organization moving ahead.

Episode 86: Jeff Skinner and the buyout conundrum
Lance and Joe are back again this week talking about the case of whether or not the Buffalo Sabres should buy out Jeff Skinner. There are pros and cons a-plenty to be had with such a tricky case and beefy contract. They'll also get into how best to address the Sabres bottom-six forward situation. Free agents or trades are there to be signed or made, but who are the best candidates? There is a lot to sort through and it's a very tricky thing to do because they cannot miss on any acquisitions.Thanks for listening and thanks for letting us know you're enjoying the pod.Follow Lance and Joe on Twitter!Read Lance's work at The Buffalo NewsRead Joe's work at Noted Hockey and Bleacher ReportBig thanks to our musician friends --Intro: MerlinBerlin -- "Orbit" - Find them on BandcampOutro: Chips 'N Cellos -- Boss Fight (Sabre Dance, Khachaturian) - Find them on Bandcamp
