That is the best way to explain Nathan Beaulieu’s debut season with the Buffalo Sabres. There was a lot of hype, despite fair warning from Montreal Canadiens faithful.

Rewind to last June, when Jason Botterill acquired Beaulieu for a third-round pick. When all was said and done, the picked ended up as the 68th overall pick.
