In an attempt to put something new and exciting together during the Buffalo Sabres’ extended break, I decided to try something unique. Loosely inspired by an article “Down Goes Brown” put together at The Athletic in April, I wanted to see if I could assemble a competitive Sabres roster full of players who never played together in Buffalo.
In Brown’s piece, he applied a similar concept, except he pooled his team from the entire NHL. For a team that has been around for 50 years, putting together a 19-man roster of players who were never on the same Sabres team seemed relatively easy at first.
