Is this the year the Sabres finally make their move towards being a competitive team?

Nazem Kadri leads the Flames with 4 pts and Elias Lindholm and Tyler Toffoli are the goal leaders with two each.
Sabres star dman Rasmus Dahlin leads the team with 4 pts and 3 goals. Flames need to keep an eye on him.

Two predictions to cover my bases.

Veteran team full of weapons that “play the right way” absolutely dismantles a young Buffalo team. 5-1 win, Toffoli scores again, and we roll over them to the point Buffalo doesn’t get their 20th shot until garbage time. 2-3 mentions post game here about how we need to blow up the top line, Toffoli is too slow, and we should trade Markstrom.

We get goalied. 3-1 loss despite another 40 shot game. Markstrom let’s in a goal people complain about and our top power play gets our only goal. 10+ posts postgame about how Toffoli/Markstrom need to go, we can’t win with this 4th line and Lewis, our team being a sham and we should’ve blown it up this summer etc.

You can already tell the Sabres skate hard after the puck, we won't be able to coast to loose pucks much in this game because they're gonna take those extra strides to try to beat us to them
