@JamieMcGinn88

To my teammates, organization and fans of the @BuffaloSabres thank you for a great experience. I enjoyed my time here! #futureisbright

 

I really like the last paragraph in the link where Murray gives his assessment of where his team is this year compared to last year and his expectations of a continuing upward trajectory for next year. At the next draft assembly and prior to the next camp there should be some interesting deals for the GM to consider.

 

No one can categorize our GM as being timid and afraid to pull the trigger on a deal that he believes will improve the roster. Most outside hockey observers believe that the Sabres are 2-3 years away from being a seriously contending team. Almost all the hockey observers acknowledge that the Sabres are moving in the right direction and already have a talented young core to build from.

They are poised to take advantage of the NHL salary cap staying about the same with teams being forced to trade good players who will become unaffordable once their contracts expire. They'll have the ammunition and cap space to strike good deals for players that should help to accelerate the timeline towards becoming a contender.

Jamie McGinn left #Buffalo Monday, but the #Sabres didn't rule out bringing him back. Story: http://www.buffalohockeybeat.com/sabres-knew-they-had-to-trade-jamie-mcginn/

"It didn't get close."

And I may attend the draft just for this reason, it should be interesting...
