The addition of Jack Eichel, Ryan O'Reilly, Evander Kane, Cody Franson and Robin Lehner should make for a much more competitive Sabres lineup... but much more competitive than where they were last year still means probably not a great team.
Lehner is, of course, the addition most relevant to Sens fans. He has not had a very good pre-season overall. He shut out the Leafs, but allowed 11 goals in his three other games and has an overall SV% of .884. His worst game of the bunch was the one against Ottawa - though it was also his first game since his concussion in February.
