The Buffalo Sabres need to make the Stanley Cup playoffs this season. Full stop. And that means every player on Buffalo's roster has to contribute in one way or another.

With that in mind, THN.com's Sabres site has kicked off a new series -- this one, going player-by-player through Buffalo's roster and focusing on their 2024-25 season and expectations for their 2025-26 campaign. And we're kicking off the series with this file, looking at Sabres goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, who lost the starter's job late last year. But Luukkonen is likely to get another kick at the can to begin next season. And from there, it's up to him to decide his future.

But we want your opinion -- do you think Luukkonen can hang on to the No. 1 goalie job this coming season? And if not, which other Sabres goalie do you think will be Buffalo's starter by the end of the year? Weigh in with your thoughts by commenting below.
