We asked the question after the Jeff Skinner trade this summer, are the Buffalo Sabres a playoff team now? The question garnered quite a few sarcastic answers, memes, and gifs which based on the Sabres performance over the past few seasons were well deserved.
The Sabres have finished last in the division 4 times in the last 5 years however for the first time in years, things are finally looking up in Western New York. The addition of Jeff Skinner from a trade with the Carolina Hurricanes, Carter Hutton from the St. Louis Blues, plus Rasmus Dahlin, the first overall pick in the NHL draft have Sabres fan excited again.
