I wish that ten game streak never happened. It's skewed too many opinions here, talking about having to make moves to make the playoffs. This season was never about making the playoffs. Great if it happens, but this is still a developing team that needs the picks. I'd love a long-term C added, but it's not happening until the off-season. Anything less than a major acquisition, at the cost of a 1st or more, is not going to make the difference come April.
Blaming Botterill for standing pat on the draft & development path, because "it's been years since playoffs", is just blatant frustration and impatience. Blame the the reasons why two years of the re-build were flushed down the toilet instead. The Sabres should be past this point already, if better decisions were made before Botterill came along.
