On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Diegert from the Due Champions podcast to discuss a handful of topics, including a potential very big week looming for the Buffalo Sabres as well as some Bills talk.Matt's co-host of the Due Champions podcast alongside his partner Student Body Right. Together they've been banging on some really good Bills content for quite a while and their list of notable guests has been quite impressive. Patrick spends a few minutes getting to know Matt and their show a little bit and discusses the charity event they had in Hamburg over the weekend Patrick attended that included several notable athletes, including Harrison Phillips, Jim Kelly and Aaron Williams.The central theme of today's episode is hockey and more specifically the Sabres. The Stanley Cup is over and the NHL draft is this coming in Friday, with free agency barely a week away. It's imperative the Sabres make a trade or preferably multiple trades, because it's (highly) unlikely any free agent of value is going to want to sign with Buffalo without getting potentially grossly overpaid. The guys talk about what an important time of year this is for a team that's desperate to rid itself of the historic 14-year playoff drought they're stuck in.They also spend some time talking about the Bills. What are a few things Matt's locked in on as the team gets ready for training camp a few weeks from now in Rochester? That and much more.
