Two or less Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Sabres' rebuilding efforts creating bond between veterans and youth As the saying goes, Rome wasn’t built in a day. A phrase typically deployed to maintain optimism, it is symbolic of the levelheaded approach a rebuilding sports franchise must take. And, if the Romans had a building block like Buffalo Sabres center Jack Eichel at their disposal, perhaps the city would’ve come together quicker. For the Sabres and their fans, the wait has been exceptionally long. Ever since the franchise joined the NHL in 1970, the closest it has come to winning a Stanley Cup was a triple-overtime defeat in Game 7 of the 1999 Final against the Dallas Stars, in which the team surrendered a controversial goal by Brett Hull that sent it back to the drawing board. Eighteen years later, Buffalo’s latest plan appears to be working. Like others before them, they’ve chosen to rebuild, filling their pipeline with young talent and improving steadily.
