Im sure the canucks fans will be all over me but the fact is you're absolutely correct the Sabres need to follow the Vancouver model.
Unfortunately, the Vancover model is simply stumbling upwards into success and benefiting from a huge shooting/save % bender (although you can argue a demko resurgence was predictable to an extent). They are succeeding despite themselves ( ownership, mgmt, scouting etc.)
If and when the Sabres are good, it's 100% going to be for reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with whatever moves ownership or management make. The good news is this happens way more often than most think.
The bad news is, there's no telling when the misery will end.
