Which rarely happens.
Dear Buffalo, I hope you enjoy a cavalcade of goalies that aren't very good while T. Murray tries to find a starter.
Neurvith is not good. Lindback is even worse. The market for FA goalies this summer is awful.
You create a culture of losing and you'll never get your players out from it. Buffalo is on its way to being Edmonton East because outright losing like this over this season and next is no way to develop a team.
Goaltending is certainly an issue, but it's not like Enroth was the answer. In terms of their young players, Buffalo has had way more high picks in the last few years than Edmonton did.
Edmonton had 3 straight 1st overall picks but they didn't stockpile picks like Buffalo has. The Oilers depth at pretty well every position is pretty bad, with the amount of young prospects Buffalo will have, they should be able to avoid that problem.
This is Buffalo over the last few years-
The upcoming draft: Top 2 overall & another 1st round pick + two 2nd round picks
2014: 2nd overall + three 2nd round picks
2013: 8th & 16th overall + three 2nd round picks
2012: 12th & 14th overall + one 2nd round pick
That's seven 1st round picks and nine 2nd round picks in 4 years. That insane, and with Murray, a guy known for his drafting, now drafting these players, they will be successful with at least some of these young players. They also have kept some veterans around to help lead the way, so I think their situation is much more promising than Edmonton's was/is.
I think the trade for Kane was a good one, that's a young legitimate scorer who can be put with McDavid/ Eichel for the next long while.
I also think Winnipeg did well for themselves getting pieces to help themselves right now and in the future, and Myers is underrated at this point, seems like everyone thinks he's been a bum since his rookie year but he's a good young player.
