While eight teams continue their quest for Lord Stanley’s Cup, the Buffalo Sabres continue their quest toward an uncertain offseason.
This weekends NHL Draft Lottery revealed the Sabres will pick 8th this June at the United Center in Chicago. According to multiple pre-draft odds and analysis, Buffalo had a slim, 8% chance to win the first overall pick.
However, picking 8th again is disappointing, given the Sabres finished with fewer points than last season and also watched Dallas, New Jersey, and Philadelphia leap past them in the lottery.
Most intriguing of all is the future direction Terry Pegula will steer the franchise.
