With the NHL All-Star break upon us, it’s a good time to take stock of the season so far for the Buffalo Sabres, which has been badly marred by injuries and COVID. The coaching staff and team management really need a shoutout for all the great work they’re doing with personnel, moving folks between the NHL side, the AHL side in Rochester and the taxi squad.
Before the season started, the DBTB writers got together and made their picks in the common awards categories, and at this point in the season with Buffalo having played 45 games - just over halfway through the season - it’s a good time to take a look at who got our votes and how far they were off from the reality.
