On your comfort and ability of others to be near you? Yes.
The caveat to this is, I don't think that they can do a run like Florida playing Granato's system.
Sabres might need to change their style much like Florida did when they brought in Maurice.
Aww, did the Canes get bounced from the ECF because of a weak call? That really breaks my ******* heart.
At least win a damn game before talking about how the refs eliminated you guys, sheesh. It's not like you were in a Game 7 with all your defense hurt.

Gary's an asshole. Maybe he's learned Shanahan's first name by now....
Last time I thought a team was making too much of the Conference trophy was Vancouver via the Sedins..
As I recall, Boston kicked their ass. lol
Still bitter, eh??
Yeah. Me too!

I'm feeling really bad for Carolina losing a ECF while a D-man was out injured.
They've lost 12 straight conference finals games since that Cup run.

There will be other contenders emerging in the coming years, but we may see a weakening of the Eastern Conference over the next couple of years.
Boston is going to be quite a bit worse when Krejci and Bergeron retire. TB seems to be regressing but should still be solid. Toronto is shifting management, and their core struggles in the playoffs regardless. Florida is looking good, but I don't see Bob playing lights out like he has been this playoff run. Carolina is tough, but they lack elite offensive players.
New Jersey is obviously a big-time threat, but there's no guarantee that they'll hit the peak that TB did, though their future is enticing. Then there are teams on the up and up like Buffalo, Ottawa, etc..
The East can go any which way in the next few years. It's wide open for the taken unlike the past few seasons when TB ran the conference.
That's only more proof that the hockey gods knew Carolina's run to the cup was fluky. They're going to ensure they never make it out of the conference finals again!
For once, the hockey gods have pleased me. Normally, they love taking jabs at our beloved Buffalo Sabres.

Who knows and who cares. Just making a general observation to NOTABLE players.
Both first line players and one a star. Guys who are part of a losing culture win elsewhere.
Even though the culture is changing here it goes to show the bigger problem is the organization and not the players.
ROR won the Con Smythe after getting traded from the sabres and Eichel has a chance depending on how him and Bobrovsky plays.
The problem is/was the organization.
