Maybe I am remembering wrong.. but did buffalo fire their entire scouting staff last year?
This team has been bad for so long, and this is a pretty good representation of why. Awful drafting.
I do like the young core they have assembled now. Solidify the D, a veteran bottom 6 guy and maybe stumble into a goalie.. this team could be good quickly.
Power/ Dahlin are both 1OA, basically a gift from the NHL "lottery"
Risto played a lot of games and no one else is around..
2008 is a long time ago so maybe the fact no one else is around isnt that big of a deal.. but drafting problems in buffalo is probably top of the list for why the rebuild has taken two decades.
