Sabres left with plenty of work to do coming out of draft and entering free agency Jun 30, 2026

Show notes

The Sabres dealt for the fourth and 20th overall picks heading into the draft, and much to the chagrin of many fans, chose to use them on prospects instead of trading for a player or players that could help them immediately. WGR/WGRZ Sabres reporter Paul Hamilton joined Adam and Sal for an in-depth look at Buffalo's options moving forward.

Inside the Josh Allen / Joe Brady dynamic with guest Tyler Dunne Jun 25, 2026

Show notes

here's a lot we know about the relationship between quarterback Josh Allen and new head coach Joe Brady. The success the Bills had with Brady as offensive coordinator certainly speaks to that. That's what Terry Pegula and Brandon Beane wanted to preserve in promoting Brady to head coach after firing Sean McDermott. There's no denying that the dynamic changes to some extent with Brady in his new role... and Allen at a new stage of life. Tyler Dunne of Go Long recently sat down with both Allen and Brady, and joined Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana for some very interesting perspective.

Sabres armed with options heading into NHL draft Jun 24, 2026

Show notes

The Sabres pulled off a massive trade Tuesday night with the Chicago Blackhawks sending defenseman Bo Byram and forward Jordan Greenway to Chicago in exchange for the fourth overall pick in the draft that starts Friday night, the 45th pick, and 6-8 defenseman Louis Crevier. The Sabres now have the 4th and 20th picks in the first round and have cleared significant cap space which gives them a lot of options to make a deal or deals to get better now and push the Stanley Cup window open further. Sabres reporter Paul Hamilton of WGR and WGRZ-TV joins Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana with more on what it all means.

Bills or Sabres - which team is closer to a championship? (with guest Mike Harrington) Jun 17, 2026

Show notes

If you had asked the question at this time last year, which New York team was closest to ending its championship drought? From Manhattan to Niagara Falls, most would have said the Buffalo Bills. Instead, it was the Knicks that after 53 years finally won an NBA title. The Bills are once again among Super Bowl favorites, and the Sabres have very much entered the conversation after a tremendous turnaround this past season that ended with a game seven overtime loss to Montreal in the second round.

So... which Buffalo team is closer to bringing a long awaited major sports championship to Western New York?

Mike Harrington, who works the Sabres beat for the Buffalo News, joined Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana for the debate.

Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana tackle that question as the Bills put a wrap on mandatory minicamp and look toward training camp in Late July.

Ruff robbed for coach of the year, Bills OTAs, and should they have been in on Myles Garrett deal? Jun 04, 2026

Show notes

HYBRID SHOW: With both teams now in offseason mode, Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana tackle some of the key issues. Lindy Ruff seemed like a sure thing for the Jack Adams Award as coach of the year in the NHL. It didn't turn out that way. The Bills continue with OTAs, while the Patriots and Rams pulled off key trades that made each team better.

How new defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard is molding the Bills defense May 28, 2026

Show notes

To refer to the Bills as going through an offseason of change would be an understatement. From a new stadium to a new head coach, there's a lot to keep track of here in the month of May. One of the biggest areas of transition is on defense where for nine years, things were ultimately molded by former head coach Sean McDermott. With now head coach Joe Brady handling things on the offensive side, new defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard is leading a change of scheme on the defensive side. Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana join with a look at where things stand, as Bills fans can begin to get a sense of what to expect.
