Not counting shortened seasons, last year was the fourth worst season in Buffalo Sabres franchise history, as the team only managed 25 wins and 62 points. There is however, a lot of optimism this season with the additions of Jeff Skinner, Carter Hutton, and first overal pick Rasmus Dahlin.
As the team looks to move the needle in the positive direction, there are several players on the roster that are looking to do the same thing. Whether due to poor performance or injury, the Sabres roster is riddled with players that did not live up to their expectations in the 2017-18 season.
