Youngest team in the league with a ton of talent just getting into their prime
One of the all-time winningest coaches coming back to the team and city he loves with something to prove and everything to give - and bringing structure, heart, toughness, and actual game plans.
A beast of a 1C who is coming back strong and focused after playing injured almost all last season.
Another beast of a 2C coming off a legendary WC and getting a new coach who will know exactly how to use him.
A real legit 1D who scores, hits, munches minutes, will skate through a wall to win, and will be taking the mantle of C that has been his destiny - and giving the Sabres a captain finally who is our best player and who wants to lead Buffalo to the playoffs and beyond.
Two more young D with 1D potential on any team who are going to get real coaching and are just finding out how good they can be.
A real fourth line who may be both faster and more willing to hit than anyone else on the roster and will wear down teams with speed and toughness - and you know Ruff is going to use them.
A legit 3C who can come out of McDavid's and Drai's shadow and know his role and thrive.
Sammy coming back healthy and ready to cobra-strike.
Quinn coming back healthy and ready to dominate after giving us a taste at how good he is
Tuch and Peterka and Benson ready to turn the ice and pop in the most goals in their young careers.
A true #1 goalie who was as good as anyone in the last half of last season and gives the Sabres a real chance to win every night.
A young #2 goalie who might be even better and more dominant.
A veteran #3 who may start in Buffalo and even if an injury happens we're not done.
A tough and productive training camp to come that will have the Sabres prepared to start the season.
A coach who will NOT let us snooze our way through the first half of games and then try to come back because they will be conditioned and prepared.
A wealth of riches in the pipeline and the very real chance someone will surprise this training camp and EARN a spot because no more spots are given.
LET'S GO!
