Sabres Pick Daxon Rudolph with No. 4 Choice in 2026 NHL Draft

The Buffalo Sabres capitalized on a fourth‑overall selection obtained from a trade with the Chicago Blackhawks to draft forward Daxon Rudolph. The club aims to add speed and scoring depth by integrating the young winger into its lineup.
