The future is not bright.

future is bright if Mr Gorton can draft and develop well and take advantage of having some decent players to trade for a solid return like Chiarot and Toffoli. I think if things go right this can be a prerenial playoff team but the time Gallagher and anderson's contracts are up

I'm sorry to say but the team is very bad, so many long term contracts with high AAV too. Bergevin destroyed this franchise with some of the signings he made and by panicking when KK was offersheeted. Poor drafting and poor management decisions will affect the team for quite a few years still. Take it from a Sabres fan lol, I know your pain
