The Buffalo Sabres will be without center Jiri Kulich for the foreseeable future due to a blood clot issue that has impacted his training and health. Kulich, who was a promising prospect last season, had recently made strides in his development but will now need to undergo treatment to address the blood clot situation. This setback is particularly disappointing for the Sabres, as they were looking to rely on Kulich's skills in the upcoming season.

Kulich is known for his dynamic playing style and his ability to contribute offensively, making his absence felt in the team's lineup. General Manager Kevin Adams expressed concern for Kulich’s health while also highlighting the need for patience as he undergoes medical evaluations and treatment plans. The organization is hopeful for a successful recovery and eager to see Kulich back on the ice when it’s safe.

As the Sabres prepare for the season, they will need to find ways to fill the gap left by Kulich's absence. The roster decisions will be critical as the team aims to build on last season's progress and compete in a challenging Atlantic Division. Fans will be keeping a close eye on how the situation develops, hoping for positive news regarding Kulich's health and return to play.
