I'd say mess. Mediocrity would be 8-10 place, not 1 point out of last in the conference.
Lot of high priced players on this team
Lots of work to be done to make this team a consistent playoff contender, let alone cup contender.

Which IMO, if they were planning on contending in a year or two, it puts them on track to be mediocre.

I just don't see how feasible it is to get 3 very good D men in that span without gutting some of the forwards and creating more holes.

It's possible if they make the right moves at the deadline and in the offseason.

The Buffalo sports teams are a 24/7/365 tire fire with no end in sight. I just think at this point we just shouldn't have sports in Buffalo.

The root of the issue is that both teams are so over-discussed and are analyzed to death in the community. Bordering on obsessive actually. Less media coverage would be a good start.

You have to hope two of Guhle, Borgen, Fitzgerald, Omanzki, future draft picks develop quickly.

Media like the Buff news or WGR?

Pach has more insightful write-ups than any of those jokers.

Eh, we have a combined drought of 23, going on 24 years of no playoffs with the two teams. I'd say it's warranted

A friend of mine always ask, when is our worst to first moment in Buffalo? Everyone else gets them. Sadly, I think the Buffalo is instilled so deep in Buffalo that all we do is Buffalo.
