Icon55 Buffalo Sabres most awesome preview

The Buffalo Sabres had a rough go of it last year under their new GM SportsJunky. Buffalo finished a full 10 points out of a playoff spot. That will not be the case this year. Playoffs are expected but it won't be easy.

The D will have to step up and Quick needs to be more consistent. The team doesn't have a ton of depth so the top lines and pairings will have to perform. The Sabres let in the 2nd fewest goals in the preseason and the commitment to D will continue in the regular season.

Buffalo opening night roster:

E. Kane (74) - Thornton (81) - Wheeler (80)
Spooner (70) - Bozak (71) - Abdelkader (75)
Lowry (69) - Pageau (73) - Hendricks (69)
Foligno (68) - McClement (66) - Larsson (67)

Yandle (76) - Gudbranson (74)
Krug (73) - Dumoulin (71)
Ehrhoff (70) - Scuderi (70)

Quick (88)
Pickard (78)

Wheeler and Thornton might just carry that team. Sim loves those guys.

Quick should make up for that offensive blue line.
