First of all… you actually know a Sabres fan? I’ve never met a Sabres fan in person.
The Sens are actually poised to make a big jump if they play their cards right.
*Montreal is a dumpster fire.
*Toronto needs severe reinforcement on the blue line and in net. And with so much money tied up in their forwards, it may not be coming soon.
*Detroit is in the middle of a rebuild, but behind Ottawa.
*Buffalo (see: Montreal).
*Boston ~ our top two centers could retire after this season or next. They will be very tough to replace.
*Florida is very unreliable in the playoffs. A beefed up Senators squad could definitely dispose of them.
*Tampa Bay has had a great run and I still think they’re the team to beat in our division. But they can only decline while the Senators improve.
Don’t think I missed anyone.
If the new ownership puts the right people in place, the Sens could move into the top spot in the Atlantic more easily than most people think.
Just a (friendly) rival fan’s opinion.
