2009 Buffalo Sabres Season Preview
Posted on 9/28/2009 by Devin Dombrowski
Believe it or not, the 2009 NHL Season is right around the corner and the Buffalo Sabres take the ice on Saturday October 3rd to open the season against the Montreal Canadiens. With that in mind, let's take a look at the Sabres and see what we can expect for the upcoming 2009-10 season.
Key Additions: Jeff Cowan (LW), Mike Grier (RW-San Jose), Cody McCormick (C-Colorado), Joe DiPenta (D), Steve Montador (D-Anaheim/Boston),
Key Losses: Jaroslav Spacek (D-Montreal), Maxim Afinogenov (RW-UFA), Andrew Peters (LW-NJD), Dominic Moore (C-UFA), Mikael Tellqvist (G-KHL)
The Sabres enter this season poised to either qualify for the playoffs or face some major changes next summer. Despite what upper management has said publicly, there is the growing feeling that both Lindy Ruff and Darcy Regier will be feeling the heat next summer if the Sabres fail to make the playoffs for a third straight year. Luckily for those two guys, as long as the Sabres stay relatively healthy (especially Ryan Miller), the Sabres should be playing postseason hockey in the spring of 2010. How far they advance in the postseason is another story.
