And finally, we close out the article from two more fans who feel great about what the Buffalo Sabres will bring in 2022-23. Here is what they had to say.

I also had fun watching the Sabres from December on. The direction seems to be a good one, all the team needs to do is execute. This fanbase is no stranger to watching Buffalo starting out so well then falling on their faces as the season went on.

Playing good hockey consistently is going to be critical for the Sabres this season. Obviously there will be bumps along the road but if they can play the brand of hockey from last season but win more games, then they will be in good shape.

Leadership will also be huge for the Buffalo Sabres if they hope to end the playoff drought. Obviously Kyle Okposo is the first guy who comes to mind when you think of leadership in the Sabres locker room. Without a doubt, he should be named the next captain of the Buffalo Sabres and I think he will be.

Don Granato is also a major reason why fans are feeling optimistic about this team. His coaching style has really lifted the spirits in the locker room and I’m excited to see the team perform underneath him.

So overall, Sabres fans seem to be optimistic. It’s fair why there are fans who aren’t but we’re going to find out one way or another.
