The Buffalo Sabres are going to be a better hockey club next year, they can’t honestly be any worse. The team is going to be getting a generational talent in Connor McDavid or Jack Eichel (yes – it is still open for debate). The team is going to not have as many contracts hanging over their heads on guys who really don’t care to be here, or who have become so complacent that they could care less if they won or they lost.
A team, once very weak down the center of the ice, is now one of the deepest teams in the National Hockey League as far as prospects are concerned.
