Sort of feels like they lack an identity, where they're not abjectly terrible in any one particular area, but do not stand out in a good way either.

Are they a high flying offensive team that relies on possession? A smothering defensive team? A gritty forechecking team? Do they burn you with speed on the rush, or wear you down on the cycle? What do they want to be, and more importantly, do they have the personnel to be it?

Tough spot to be in. Goaltending always seems to be their achilles heel, but they make changes in that area and see no improvement. Still not impossible to turn it around I suppose, but yeah, the climb gets more challenging by the day.

Their identity if being a soft team mentally and physically who can skate and run and gun with the best but fold when teams apply any pressure (outside of the Leafs and Habs for whatever reason).

At this point, the issue is pretty clearly the leadership group of the team. Everything else has changed, and coaches can't force the players to be mentally durable. They just all look like as soon as they hit a small losing streak they all give up and accept they will just suck and lose going forward.

Gotta start rebuilding the rebuild. The new Buffalo sabres everyone.

Brady is going to want out, especially after watching his brother have so much success. It's gotta sting for him.

Brady hasn't done shit to try and separate himself from this mess. He is the captain for god sakes and hasn't performed when they needed him
