Once again, the Buffalo Sabres are dragging themselves to the end of an NHL season, hopes of a playoff run dashed – if not mathematically, then at least spiritually. A team that held such hope early in the season has fallen apart and the fanbase has rightly been up in arms about the lack of progress during the Jack Eichel era.
So what can be done over the summer? A lot of fan ire has been directed at GM Jason Botterill, who took over the reins in 2017 and has yet to deliver any post-season berths in Buffalo.
