Darcy Regier may not be around to reap the benefits but the GM that replaces him will should be set up with a deep stockpile of young talent. The Sabres are pretty ugly right now on the ice but there does seem to be a plan in place as the amount of high picks they have stockpiled is unheard of. Will be interesting to see how many difference makers they can get out of all these picks. That will be the key for them turning things around.
