The Columbus Blue Jackets host the Buffalo Sabres in the NHL's 2026-27 season opener on October 1, with trader sentiment reflecting the Sabres' stronger recent trajectory after a 50-23-9 campaign that ended a long playoff drought and secured the Atlantic Division title. Buffalo's young core, anchored by defensemen Rasmus Dahlin and Owen Power plus forward Tage Thompson, remains intact despite key departures like Alex Tuch and Bowen Byram, while ongoing interest in a top goaltender adds roster flexibility ahead of training camp. Columbus finished 40-30-12 last season, showing improved defensive structure and expected goals under coach Rick Bowness late in the year, though offseason losses of forwards like Boone Jenner and goaltender Elvis Merzlikins' recent shoulder surgery create uncertainty in net. Both clubs face early-season questions around depth and health, with the visitor holding a slight edge in overall roster continuity and momentum entering the new campaign.
