With the Sabres, things can always get worse

(WIVB)–Over the years, I’ve often been moved to declare that one of our Buffalo sports teams had finally hit rock bottom. But time and experience have taught me that things can always get worse.
Things could get bleaker for the Sabres. They could fail to make the playoffs for the 10th consecutive time next season, breaking the Carolina Hurricanes’ record of futility from 2010 through 2018.

Still, we’ve come a long way from late February of 2011, when Terry Pegula arrived in Buffalo as the Sabres’ new owner and assured fans that “From this point forward, the Buffalo Sabres’ reason for existence will be to win the Stanley Cup.”

Sullivan roasts the Pegulas (rightfully so) but then towards the end he says that they'll eventually break out. If they keep accumulating top 10 draft picks, then eventually we'll see a good team.

That statement is not to make anyone feel better. They wouldn't be good because the Pegulas made the right decisions, but because that's the way the NHL is designed. It is still depressing how poorly how badly the Pegulas ran this team. But its something to keep in perspective.
