I’d be stunned if Donkey wasn’t suiting up for the Buffalo Sabres this fall.  He hasn’t been healthy scratched. No signs of him falling out of favor with the team. Fans just hate him. Nobody in the organization cares about the fans otherwise they wouldn’t keep ragdolling us with this hysterically bad roster.  

Lots of reasons he'll be back: Alternate captain = leader. PK defender. Never give up on a young defenseman too early. Pegula doesn't want to pay for a buyout or retention for that many years for someone not to be here. Sheevyn probably wouldn't get good value in a trade without retention.

Honestly, ya, the letter sort of seals it. But then again maybe not, did Cozens have one?

But shouldn't Ruff, with 30 years of coaching experience, have been able to do that already? And then, because he's the future POHO, he could give Adams the shopping list to go get a defenseman who fits the need?

Why do you think he Ruff is the future POHO?   Will he leapfrog Adams to this position?
