Great expectations: how do you see the year unfolding?

[Andrew Amerk]

It's going to be a rough season. I know some people are excited by some new toys, as always, but this team will not be much better results-wise as last years squad.

 

They will be getting a top-2 pick.

I expect the Sabres to be dead last in goals.

 

I expect the Sabres to be dead last in the standings.

 

I expect the Sabres power play to suck.

 

I expect Kaleta and McCormick to get hurt.

 

I expect Samson to play all year with Buffalo.

 

I expect Rasmus to play all year with Buffalo.

 

I expect Zadorov to play in juniors.

 

I expect Gionta to wear a letter.

 

I expect Grigorenko to score enough points to get some people excited for 2015/2016.

 

I expect Armia to dominate the AHL and be a regular contributing call up.

 

I expect to draft Connor McDavid.

How can you expect this? Even if the Sabres finish DFL, there is still something like an 80% chance that a different team will get the #1 pick.

All this except, Reinhart gets loaned to Team Canada for the World Juniors and will be a healthy scratch more often then not Oct thru Dec.

 

I would be okay with Eichel as well.

D'oh! And I've been predicting that the Islanders will stink!

 

Good call.

Sabres are gonna win the cup this year..... While being dead last in scoring

 

Enroth/neuvirth combo will accomplish a total of 62 combined shutouts

 

Nolan will fight someone on the other teams bench

 

Our leading scorer will be lucky to have 20 goals

 

St Louis does a 180 and takes the 1st overall pick

 

Oh and everything I post this year will be a steaming pile of dog s#it
