With the first round of the 2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs drawing to a close, many Buffalo Sabres fans find themselves looking forward to next season.
It’s hard to watch a game like Saunday’s double-overtime thriller between the new York Islanders and the Florida Panthers without wondering, “When are the Sabres going to be the team we’re all cheering for?” And as exciting as it was to watch John Tavares put his team on his back and lead the Islanders to a series-clinching win, there are some guys in the 716 that I would rather watch score dramatic goals: Jack Eichel, Sam Reinhart, Ryan O’Reilly, and so on and blah blah blah.
