‘I think that the Sabres end up being one of the teams hurt the most by realignment. Because you look at the old Atlantic Division with Detroit and Ottawa, Montreal and Florida, the Sabres were certainly going to be pushing into the top half of that division. Now you essentially get thrust into the Metropolitan Division, plus Boston and minus Carolina. And you’re going to need somebody to take a real step back whom you don’t expect and the Sabres take a step up. It’s a good thing they’re not going to see Tampa, but some of these other teams that you look at in this division are going to be huge challenges too.’
