They are one of a few teams who actually has the majority of their players signed and the roster is pretty solid. With the addition of Ryan Miller in net they should do just fine. By the way the "lowly" sabres finished 8 points behind the "great" habs last year. It would have been 6 if not for the meaningless end of the regular season game.
The Sabres will definitely be in a good position when hockey returns. Unlike my Leafs who will be saddled with a 40 year old goaltender who has a bad back and didn't play last year, not to mention the "thanks for nothing" Owen Nolan eating up cap space, the arthritic hip of Alexander Mogilny, and the injuries waiting to happen in Nieuwendyk and Roberts. I fear it's gonna be a long season for Leaf Nation. Maybe another year for the lockout wouldn't be so bad afterall. :thumb:
