Let’s just write McDavid out right now as that’s a whole another season away and they Sabres will have to compete with a lot of teams in the market for a McDavid. If the Sabres manage two picks inside the top 5 and play their cards right, when signing players this offseason. This could be a completely different team when puck drops next season. There might not be many franchise players available, but there are definitely key pieces the Sabres could use.
