After 12 straight years missing the playoffs and many dead last finishes...I wonder how happy people would be if the Flames fans would be to have a roster like theirs is. If they win a cup in the next 3 yesrs with it. But 12 years is a long time to be a bad team outside the playoffs and only last year did they really show signs of breaking that.
So it irks me when the usual crowd of we are so dumb for not being like Buffalo posters talk up the Sabres roster and say that's how you build a team. But also think it was a 2 to 4 year project. They've had 2 season in 12 where they finished over 82 points and 5 where they might have topped 80 in an 82 game season.
So yeah by now the Sabres roster should be better than a Flames team which has been badly managed. How about the trade is the Flames get 12 years of missing the playoffs and in 2 of those they're better than .500 which due to the loser point no longer 500, and have the Sabres roster to show for it. Buffalo gets the current Flames roster and 12 years to do whatever they can with it. Do people make that trade?
