Buffalo Sabres Lose Jimmy Vesey Sweepstakes

Now that the Buffalo Sabres have lost out on the Jimmy Vesey sweepstakes, where does the team go from here?Whether you are happy or disappointed, Buffalo Sabres fans, you can at least agree on this much: thank God the Jimmy Vesey saga is over.Now that Vesey has signed with the New York Rangers, everyone who follows the Sabres can turn their attention to the current roster that Buffalo owns and begin speculatiing over whether it is good enough to make the playoffs in 2016-17 (possibly) and, if so, how deep a playoff run the Sabres can enjoy (probably one round).

Don't rule Sabres out of Jimmy Vesey sweepstakes – ProHockeyTalk

This is part of Colorado Avalanche day at PHT…Three years ago the Colorado Avalanche came out of nowhere to win 52 games and surprisingly take the Central Division crown during the 2013-14 season.Even though there were a lot of red flags that came along with that success (they weren't a good defensive team and they were one of the worst possession teams in the league) they still seemed like a team that had a chance to be on the rise thanks to a young core led by Matt Duchene, Gabriel Landeskog, and that year's No.1 overall pick, Nathan MacKinnon.
