It all started in the summer of 2007, the fall of the Buffalo Sabres Captain. That season, Buffalo won the Presidents’ Trophy and made it all the way to the Eastern Conference finals, much of the credit going to co-captains Chris Drury and Danny Briere. Drury had managed 69 points that season and 13 in the playoffs, while Briere amassed 95 and 15 points, respectively.
You all know what happened next – Drury hopped a plane for the Big Apple and Briere headed off to the City of Brotherly Love.
The next season for Buffalo?
