Thanks Terry Pegula.
The Sabres have just 142 goals with 8 games to play.

Suffering through one of the worst seasons in recent NHLhistory, the 20-45-8 Buffalo Sabres have an outside chance to become the NHL's lowest-scoring team since 1936, per Drew Davis of Kukla's Korner.
With 139 goals through 73 games, the Sabres are averaging a woeful 1.90 per contest, easily the worst in the NHL. The New Jersey Devils are second-worst in scoring with 177 goals through 73 games, which is good for 2.42 per contest and still places them well ahead of the Sabres.
Having long ago locked up their place as the lowest-scoring team this season, the Sabres hope to avoid matching the 1997-98 Tampa Bay Lightning's record for fewest goals per game in modern NHL history. The 1997-98 Lightning struggled to a 17-55-10 record, scoring just 151 goals in 82 games, or 1.84 per contest.
As bad as the Sabres are, this is one mark of futility they should be able to avoid. Doing so will require just 13 goals in the final nine games, which would be a given for any other NHL team.
Of course, the Sabres aren't just any NHL team, they're far and away the worst squad in the league. Avoiding this dubious record is clearly in the team's best interest, but it won't remove the sting from a truly dreadful season.

we have some already. they just need time to develop. sabres should get more this draft and next to help that. the ship is turning around. the standings havent begun to reflect that yet. it will in due time.

I want to see a line centered by Girgensons with Sam Bennett and Grigerenko on the wings.

I am not sure Girgensons has the offense.
But this is why they must draft a forward this year and next. No defense.
Their scoring ability is worse than my scoring ability

Two guys who can go hard while Grigs stays home.
it might be the balance that creates something unique.

Funny that is what the Bills have been saying for 12 years. You have to KEEP the good players and ADD to them young players. If you don't keep them there is no one to learn from !!
