Team: 2023-24 Buffalo Sabres

Initial Creation Date: Jun. 14, 2022

Published: Jun. 14, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Team made upwards trend near the end of the year and showed they can compete. Can they do that over a full year and make the playoffs, maybe but that's optimistic. team will still have growing pains and struggle at points. I think the next year will be much better and could add 20 more points to the totals. that's 95 points still 5 off from playoff line last year. the year after that we could see the full influx from trades and drafting. This is when i think the streak ends and buffalo breaks into the playoffs. Still lots of growth needed and lots of development to do but bones should be there hopfully.
draft
#9 Marco Kasper i just feel he is like quinn, has all the tools and plays solid all round game. not as much a sniper but everting is there to see a good nhl player
#16 Danila Yurov Russia factor drops him out of top 10 even though he has higher ceiling then players going before him. Buffalo takes best available and runs. Sabers also have a history of brining over Russian kids when situations doesn't look good politically.
#28 Tristan Luneau the top RHD prospect the sabers are missing. Same situation as Kasper has all the tools just not a wow player. can be a solid top 4 option to pair with our wow LHD.
