For years, Buffalo Sabres fans have been told about how deep the team’s prospect pool is, over and over again. With such a deep pool, it’s easily to feel like you’re drowning, isn’t it?
These prospects are great, but then what happens? Obviously, the goal is for these young players to develop and then actually make the AHL and NHL. Not every prospect will make it to the big leagues, and to expect them to would be foolish. But as others have written, it can certainly be exhausting to hear about how amazing a team’s prospects are for years and years, and for it to never fully develop into anything.
