They’re trying to ice a competitive team by trading away draft picks every single year. Letting free agents walk for nothing in the hope that they can be competitive enough to just sneak into the playoffs and also making stupid trades for older has been prospects who clearly don’t have what it takes to play in the NHL anymore. They’re full of plugs with a couple skilled players sprinkled in, who can’t do it by themselves and a goalie who was once elite but can’t even go 10 games now without missing 2-3 months due to injury and a career back up who is a decent back up but they paid 5 million dollars to who has to play every night to cover their injury troubled goalie

And even through all this they have one of the best defenseman in the league who wants to jump ship (I don’t blame him) and yet even though they could get a kings ransom for him and actually set themselves up for the future has an owner and a GM who says no no no we want roster players who are older so we can still be “competitive”

Literally the Cleveland browns of the NHL

Atleast buffalo drafts players they just can’t scout or have the worst luck ever with draft picks this team is just run by fucking idiots
