Thread: Which Team is in More Hell?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mondo</b></div><div>Buffalo.

San Jose needs to rebuild and will find a way out from under their heavy contracts. Anaheim is currently stocking up on great future players and have an elite goaltender to get them back into contention soon. Vancouver might be run by a giant doofus but they've got a great core of young players and their bad contracts are slowly leaving. Arizona will shape out to be a decent team. Ottawa and Detroit are on a good track for a rebuild.

But the Sabres? The Pegulas have essentially crushed that team's spirit. This April will be the 10 year anniversary of their last playoff game, and they look no closer to actually being a competitive team today than they did on draft day in 2015. People are pegging their best player since Hasek for a lowball trade. Their front office is stocked with yes man more loyal to the owners than putting a competent product on the ice. They struggle to draft and develop players. They look hopeless.</div></div>

The Sabres are like the Oilers of the 2000s. A blip of success(1999) sandwiched with failure and eternal pain. The Pegulas are more focused on the Bills than the Sabres. They are ruining Jack Eichel. They are ruining Rasmus Dahlin. They are the Cleveland Browns. They have a long t-shirt list of coaches, captains, failed prospects, star players giving them a '**** you' and leaving for contenders.
Ottawa(**** Melnyk and Dorion) are a team, and they look great with Sharks legends in Tierney, Norris, and Stutzle. The Red Wings have Stevie and got out of cap hell. Arizona is dysfunctional but they have a decent team. Jim Benning and Travis Green are sort of ruining the Canucks, but I digress. The Sharks are in hell due to DW going all in all the time. Jones, Vlasic, and EK65 have bad contracts. If we didn't get the three? We could've had Donskoi, Pavelski, (perhaps) an elite goaltender, and other depth pieces. Sharks have good youth though.
Amazing post from you man!
