Edmontn went to a final soon after that. Would it really have been better long term? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nail? i know hindsight is 20/20 an we know how bad the Sabres have been since then, i’m just not sure this was one of the franchise altering decisions that people keep making it out to be.
