Sounds good in theory. Lot of ifs though

Good luck tanking. Buffalo is going to be hard pressed to finish worse than 3rd from the bottom in the division. Got to contend with Ottawa and Detroit

Show some optimism bro. Pre-season hasn't even started yet. We got a host of good things going for us and made some really nice offseason additions to our team. Very likely not a playoff team but if we are in the wildcard race around the 60-70 game mark then I'm happy, that's progress

I think the two most logical things about the post is that we really shouldn't resign any of next year's UFA, and that a top 7 pick in next years loaded draft can bring us into a future of cup contention. The youth of this team can progress and they can still be a terrible team in 19/20. I'd take a top pick over being 5-10 points out of the playoffs any day
