The Sabres have been a ton of fun to watch grow and develop over the last 2 seasons. They are not knocking on the door of a championship but you can see them growing and gaining confidence with each other. They won many of the 'big games' like the outdoor game vs. Toronto, Eichel's first return game, both RJ games, and most recently the Ryan Miller game. If they can find a way to sneak into the playoffs, there is good reason to believe they could do some damage. I don't think there's a team in the East that would want to play them in the first round.
