Man are the Sabres freaking pathetic. Feels like that franchise is never going to turn the corner
I honestly can't understand it. One to one their roster has better pieces than almost every team in the east yet they're competing with us for last place year after year. Half the guys they trade becomes a key piece on a cup winner. ROR, eichel, Reinhart.

Even just in pro/amateur scouting they found so many guys who had success after leaving. Ullmark, McCabe, Rodrigues, Montour, etc.

They have multiple #1d, a massive #1 c, depth scoring, decent goaltenders. I don't see how they can be so bad. There's no glaring obvious hole like with the sens.

We should buy low on Cozens or one of their d. Too many underperformers waiting to explode.

Experience. Buffalo currently has the youngest team in the league with the second less played amount of games. Two less games than the Habs...and both team are like 1000 less games than 3rd position and half the team with the most games played.

For all the player move, Buffalo has a lower internal cap because of a cheap owner, which means they often trade players or lose them to UFA. Or those players asked to be traded like Eichel, it just doesn't always make the news.
