    Where might the Sabres be in 2020?

    As Ken Campbell of The Hockey News notes, POSSIBLY gearing up for the playoffs.

    No, he's not on something. But he does add that this is a best-case scenario.

    Thoughts, everyone?

    Look at the year again(2020). And, for that matter, the title of the thread.

    They should be contending for a playoff spot this season.

    Exactly my thought. It better not be 2020 before they are gearing up for the playoffs!

    Saw a chart recently about teams that have added the most wins and lost the most wins (on paper)

    They expect the sabres, as is, to drop in points next year

    You're only allowed to post if you were off them. I thought.

    Why? The D has improved and that will help Lehner, who was already playing well. I'm not a fan of Pommers, but he's a mild improvement over Ennis. And all the young guys should take a step forward. And the coach and players being on the same page helps.

    I'm not saying this team doesn't have holes or that they're Cup contenders. But I see no reason why they can't improve on last season and snag a 7 or 8 seed.

    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

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

    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.)
