Leschyshyn inked a one-year, two-way deal with the Sabres on Wednesday, per PuckPedia.
EDGE Analysis
Leschyshyn was let go by the Rangers this offseason after the team failed to issue him a qualifying offer. Considering the 26-year-old center failed to make an NHL appearance for the club last season -- and played in just one game for the Rangers the year prior -- his departure shouldn't come as a surprise. While NHL minutes could be easier to come by for Leschyshyn with Buffalo, he still figures to spend the bulk of his time in the minors with AHL Rochester.

Leschyshyn didn't receive a qualifying offer from the Rangers on Monday, making him an unrestricted free agent, Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Leschyshyn hasn't appeared in the NHL since the 2023-24 campaign and will have to test the open market during the offseason. He made 69 appearances with AHL Hartford last year and recorded 13 goals, 11 assists and 34 PIM.

Leschyshyn was assigned to AHL Hartford on Friday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Leschyshyn was called up by the Rangers last Saturday, but he didn't appear in any games for the NHL club during his time with the team. He's recorded a goal and four points over 13 AHL appearances to begin the year, and he should see more consistent opportunities to play now that he's heading back to Hartford.

Leschyshyn was called up from AHL Hartford on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The move comes after Filip Chytil suffered an upper-body injury in Thursday's 3-2 win over San Jose. Leschyshyn has a goal and four assists in 13 AHL games this season. He will likely be an extra forward as the Rangers begin a four-game road trip in Seattle before heading to Western Canada,

Leschyshyn was reassigned to AHL Hartford on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Leschyshyn was a healthy scratch in Saturday's 2-1 win over Anaheim. He could be back with the Rangers before Tuesday's road game against Washington to serve as an extra forward again.

Leschyshyn was called up from AHL Hartford on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The Rangers had only 12 healthy forwards before recalling Leschyshyn. In his lone NHL outing last season, he logged 6:28 of ice time against St. Louis on Jan. 11. Leschyshyn has two goals and four assists in 77 NHL regular-season appearances, with all his points occurring in the 2021-22 campaign for Vegas. He will likely be a healthy scratch against the Ducks on Saturday, barring an undisclosed injury or absence elsewhere in the New York lineup.

Leschyshyn was reassigned to AHL Hartford on Tuesday, Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reports.

Leschyshyn was recalled by the Rangers on Monday, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Leschyshyn was sent to AHL Hartford after being waived by the Rangers in late September, but he'll rejoin the NHL club ahead of the regular season. However, the 25-year-old made just one regular-season appearance for the Rangers last year, and it seems unlikely that he'll be included on the team's Opening Night roster.
