Where might the Sabres be in 2020?

Carolina has a better chance of landing in Quebec City than the Sabres do. Or WILL. Hell, Arizona has a better chance!

(And the irony of one of the former WHA/NHL teams landing in ANOTHER WHA/NHL market is not lost on me.)

I think that is correct.

Shallow wings and the d is still weak. Alot of young players need to improve at the same time to do that. They still need major help

That was true last year, and I'd argue that we will be better on the wings with the young guys having a year to improve and Pommers being healthy. And while the D is still weak, it's improved over last year.

I agree they need help but I still say they can take a step forward over last year.

If I had to guess where the Sabres will be in 2020, I would say Quebec City.

I don't see the Sabres moving. First, Pegula didn't invest in Harborcenter and all the improvements to the arena just to pick up and move. Second, the Sabres get good support even when they aren't winning. There are plenty of markets that struggle to get support even when they are winning: Carolina, Florida, Arizona come immediately to mind (although Arizona is probably safe because they are trying to correct the east-west imbalance and moving a western team east is only going to make it worse).

Still pissed the Bills didn't move to Toronto, I see..

I still give each of your observations the same respect I give all of them.

They should be contending for a playoff spot this season.

If our defense improves dramatically, we'll be fighting for the 8th spot.
