We will be entering the sixth season since the Sabres bottomed out with 52 points at the end of the 2013-14 season. Not exactly the five-year plan many envisioned when we kicked off the tank. But now, we have more young talent knocking on the NHL door and a big-time blue line reinforcement on the way from Frolunda in Rasmus Dahlin. Casey Mittelstadt will also see the NHL full-time next year, and Sam Reinhart showed everyone after the new year last season why he was a former number two overall pick. Unfortunately, the day is eventually going to come when we are going to have to pay many of these guys.
