While there is no doubt that the 2015-16 version of the Buffalo Sabres is a better team than last season’s squad, it is painfully obvious that the Sabres still need a great deal of help. This team is not 1-2 pieces away from being a playoff-ready squad; more like 4-5 pieces, and that may be generous.
Anyone looking for the Buffalo Sabres to go out and trade for Steven Stamkos in the hopes that Stammer will be enough to put the Sabres over the hump, then, having been paying attention – although no one would complain if that miracle did, indeed, happen!
