Today's game was a summary of the season so far - it leaves you excited about the future, but reminds you this team isn't ready just yet.
The future stars made their mark, as Jack Eichel scored a pair of goals and Sam Reinhart tied the game at three, but a late goal from Tomas Tatar helped Detroit hand Buffalo its fourth straight loss.
Eichel brought the Sabres back into the game after falling behind by two goals. His first was another example of his stellar shot, beating a screened Peter Mrazek on the far side.
