Important upcoming dates as the Sabres head into the summer.
Now that one of the worst seasons in team history is over, we can finally look toward the future, which for the Buffalo Sabres, is looking very bright. Let's take a look at some of the upcoming important dates on the non-playoff NHL calendar.
May 1-17, 2015 IIHF World Championships
The Sabres will have Tyler Ennis (Canada) and Rasmus Ristolainen (Finland) participating, and their likely draft pick, Jack Eichel, will play for Team USA. The tournament takes place in the Czech Republic, so watching the games might be a bit tough, but it will be our first chance to watch Eichel play against NHL-caliber players.
