Sabres fans spent an entire year dreaming of Connor McDavid in a Buffalo jersey. Those dreams have turned into nightmares over the past decade.
The Buffalo Sabres owned the highest odds to land Connor McDavid in the 2015 NHL Draft at 20% but lottery misfortune prevented them from bringing the most highly touted prospect since Sidney Crosby to Western New York. The franchise has never recovered.
McDavid indirectly delivered another crushing blow to Sabres fans on Monday when he signed an extremely team-friendly two-year, $25 million contract extension with the Edmonton Oilers.
