The mess in Vegas has the stink of a meddling owner who wants a championship now.
Their decline really is a lesson in hubris. From taking a roster of underdogs who over-achieved thanks to remarkable chemistry and trading away virtually every one of them for mercenary stars; to alienating and dealing away the beloved face of the franchise; to spending the last of their young assets on a petulant superstar whose contract will mean losing another one of the few remaining original band of misfits.
It’s going to be hilarious when they miss the playoffs for the next five seasons. Especially watching Eichel pack up for golf season while the Sabres are playing playoff hockey.
