But only 3 are right now.Eichel, Reinhart and Brendan Lemieux are in the NHL. Guhle and Borgen are a step away and will be NHLers. Asplund isn't far off. Johansson the goalie showed very well when called up to Rochester. Olofsson may make it and then there's Alex Nylander. If 8 of Murray's draft picks make the show that's a pretty good record.
I didn’t realize this team was a playoff team last season and has taken a major step backwards.... oh wait they were the worst team in hockey and have made some really good strides this year. Yadadada lucky 10’game win streak, ya well they still won those 10 games so they deserve some credit.

I do wish this Management would be subjected to Toronto media pressure other than the lame tame Buffalo press.
The only thing they seem to be able to is to stir useless rumors they pick out of players post game interviews.
Making no NHL moves this season is pretty disappointing because they need help just to stay in the race. Are there really no long-term options out there?
A niche he will be vastly overpaid forOffseason important for Botterrill.
Don't waste assets at deadline. Sign players who can help us. Michael Ferland comes to mind. Contract expiring, former 5th round pick who has created a niche for himself.
Could help this team on the power play and would have plenty of opportunity with us. Not sure we need to trade for him, but someone who we maybe could target offseason.
Most likely, and that's why I'm saying to give up assets in a trade as well is overkill.A niche he will be vastly overpaid for

Yeah, but the year before they made progress than Botts came in and we went down to the bottom again. And now we're back to where we were 2 years ago, so yay?
Good to see that the fanbase is okay with punting year after year and have our franchise player get more and more frustrated.
I bet Jack loves this season without playoffs. Only his 4th in 4 years in Buffalo.
Last years team was so poor (as many players gave up)
This season is looking like progress
.....honestly there has been 0 progress
...take out that 10 game streak and we are back in the bottom in all categories
When it is a complete and total outlier compared to the entire rest of the season it isn't.I still think this kind of logic is silly.
Remove any team’s best 10 game stretch and they will be hurting in the standings.

Buffalo has one of the lowest points per game standing-wise of any team in the league outside of that stretch.
That winning streak with the unsustainable Skinner shooting percentage and the unusual goaltending? That bit that they haven't been able to replicate for the other half+ of the season worth of games? The bit outside of which they are one of the worst teams in the league in the standings based on points per game? Sure... yeah... luck is progress.
