I'm not convinced the Sabres will be terrible next year.

Eichel
Hall
Olofsson
Reinhart
Staal
Skinner
Cozens

That's a really nice core of forwards. Mittelstadt, Eakin, Girgensons, Okposo, Rieder, Lazar, Thompson... they're not short on bottom-six options either. Potentially Jack Quinn maybe, too.

Dahlin has some carrying to do on defense but there is also plenty of upside there with Montour, Miller, Jokiharju, and even Ristolainen.

The goalies are a question mark for sure but Ullmark isn't bad. He's Rittich-level. I can see Buffalo making the playoffs for sure.
