Konsta Helenius, Noah Ostlund, and rest of Buffalo Sabres prospects looking to make mark at Prospects Challenge

The Buffalo Sabres Prospects Challenge opens this week, giving the likes of Konsta Helenius, Noah Ostlund, and others their first crack at impressing the Sabres coaching staff to make the NHL roster at some point in 2025-26. Can any of the Sabres prospects surprise at the NHL level this season? Sneaky Joe runs through Helenius, Ostlund, Anton Wahlberg, Nikita Novikov, and other prospects that are possibilities.

Plus, who listeners would pick amongst the prospects to make an impact on the team this year, and why many are picking Devon Levi. Without Levi at the Prospects Challenge, can Topias Leinonen or Scott Ratzlaff impress?
