Sabres agree. After suffering yet another embarrassing defeat, it's clear that this isn't the team that's going to get me anywhere. While the farm is progressing nicely, the current crop in the pros just wasn't cutting it.
This came together remarkably fast. I told Todd that for me to really move my franchise player, it would take a serious base to start, and he brought it for sure. Fleury, Beaudin, and Kotkaniemi alone are can't-miss top-end young players and will help usher in a true identity for this team - if not a little while longer than I'd hoped.
Lehner was desperately needed as my goaltending has been atrocious. Hopefully we won't string him out to dry too much the rest of the way in - but he's easily a marked improvement over what I have now.
Great talk Todd - good skill to you sir.
