Short Take Sports
Sabres gain coach
They keep adding highly regarded people in support position. The latest is a glorified personal trainer. I hope it works. https://www.nhl.com/sabres/news/buffalo-sabres-hire-brian-galivan-director-of-performance-usa-hockey?fbclid=IwY2xjawKLgu9leHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFMSmZPQnpabmxkWllYWkVLAR4BdqaDmgCVEYYTuDuI_yY8b0EXZfCKsuyqIWM-j2I7Y8JvUqh31Qs_7xrmpg_aem_LRZmX7h6JPVcFuHWw27duA
Helenius shows grit
He’s about to turn 19, and likely needs another season with the Amerks, but Konsta Helenius has a nasty side. I like that. https://www.buffalohockeybeat.com/agitating-style-helping-sabres-prospect-konsta-helenius-development-with-rochester-amerks/
Hawes catches passes
Interesting the “blocking” tight end stood out by catching passes on the first day of mini camp. If he keeps that up, Zach Davidson might end up on another team or the practice squad again. Davidson has been in the league since 2021 and has made $3.77 million. He has appeared in 3 games with 1 reception. https://www.audacy.com/wgr550/sports/bills/size-athleticism-on-display-…
