Quoting: BUFF36
I agree with Savoie, Juniors really doesn't do anything for him though, shame Rochester is not a option next year. It's nice the 3rd line is playing very well right know, hope they keep it up, but decisions will need to be made on Mitts and Olofsson. Time for the Sabres to move forward in there building process, are they part of the future or not because you have prospects that are getting close.
Yes, this is way one can sustain a dynasty, adding players as Savoie, Rosen, Kulich while trading away Mittelstadt, Olofsson, and others for future draft picks.
I am not a big fan of TDL deals (some are necessary), as only one team wins the cup and all of the other teams wasted future assets chasing a dream.
Sign a couple of defensemen this year, get more production out of Peterka, Quinn, Power and Luukkonen and we can see the playoffs on the horizon.
While it will not make or break the season, the next five games (Stars, Blues, Jets, Wild and Cames0 could foreshadow how the season will end.
Regardless, the pundits were wrong predicting 13th or 14th in the east, Buffalo will not be a bottom feeder and will finish the season with between 88 and 95 pts.
If Levi proves to be Hasek reincarnated, we will see multiple cups in the future.
