- Sabres prospect Vasili Zelenov is generating a lot of NCAA interest, reports Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal (Twitter link). The 18-year-old was a seventh-round pick in June, going 204th overall after a strong season in Austria, one that saw him put up 37 points in 40 games. Zelenov is playing with USHL Green Bay this season and will likely look to make the jump to college hockey for the 2025-26 season.
