The team's record will improve next season with Jack, Sam, Risto off the team.
Risto will be a key piece of another team's strong playoff run.
Casey Mittlestadt will sore 45 pts next season.
Exactly. You cannot rationalize a thorough tanking and not rapidly replenish the veterans you jettisoned.
At the end of the day we are where we are because we compounded a couple of big mistakes with annual smaller mistakes when the room for error was negligible.
Not gonna lie, given this team’s current reputation I’m a bit leery of drafting a player that has the option to simple stay in school a little longer and leave a free agent. Hearing Power say he’d be honored to be drafted by the Sabres is a bit of a relief for me.
Yup. You can count on the fingers of one hand (and have fingers left over) the number of players on this team that I genuinely like over the last 7 years. KO tops the list.
