Buffalo Sabres – 8th Atlantic

Buffalo is still in the basement after going 1-2 this week.

The Sabres are plain awful. There’s just not much to say. Tim Murray has carefully calculated which players to keep and which to discard that will give him the best chance at landing Connor McDavid or Jack Eichel.

If you think otherwise you should re-evaluate your take on the Sabres. Murray is a very, very smart man when it comes to evaluating talent so to think each move hasn’t been carefully made is naïve.

The Sabres will continue to remain sole proprietors of the 8^th spot in the Atlantic all season long.
