There is no quick fix for the Sabres and GMTM. Maybe another tank year is in order. The Leafs are going to dominate the division and the conference for the next several years. A slow and steady rebuild and maybe we can catch them in 5-7 years.

Still on that denial train I see.
The Leafs are going to be at the top of this division very soon.

They won't, because this isn't football and there are 3 division spots.
Sabres should focus on being better than Boston, Ottawa etc first

Toronto spends 7MM on Shattenkirk and they are still only at 52MM with all positions except back up goalie and 11-12th forward filled.

I'm jealous of how that team is built.

I feel like their defense overacheived this season. They barely squeaked past a TB team whose best player started <20 games. They have a ton of youth which is generally positive but doesn't necessarily mean all will continue playing how they did this year.

Nothing is guaranteed.

Last season I said Tampa would be better not Florida though.
I thought Toronto would be good relatively soon, but not this fast.
Their young starts are only going to get better.

Thats the talk in Avs nation too, they really need to look at how the Leafs decided to blow it up a bit and reboot it the right way.

Have to give them credit. They drafted right and were aggressive trading vets for assets

What do the Leafs have in the pipeline that the NHL is not seeing yet? Kirby Rachel, maybe? They're going to be good, no doubt about that, but how much better is the question?

Nylander and Guhle are at least two key pieces that should be solid for us and are not in Sabres' uniforms yet, we will add another top 9 pick this summer, so we still have some quality on its way.

Right...... So Matthews, Nylander, Marner are all going to get worse.
Kadir is going to suddenly be terrible.
JVR will forget how to skate.
Reilly and gardnier are going to forget how to defense.
Also Babcock is suddenly going to become a terrible coach.

nothing is guaranteed, or so I was just told so we cant count on them being good.

Or is this a case where Toronto = bad no good and Buffalo = Best going to be dominant
