Sinking Ship - Buffalo Sabres Dynasty
The Back Story:
Buffalo has struggle on and off the ice for the past 10 Years.
Rebuild after Rebuild happening and nothing working.
Coaches/GMs changed, nothing continuing to work.. The fans have lost interest.
Star players fed up. It seems like a dooms day device at this point awaiting to explode.
New General Manager | 2020-2021 Season:
Travis Henderson - A 20 Year Old, coming from Toronto, Ontario has been given the opportunity of a life time.
Owner Terry Pegula has had his ups and downs with hiring and firings, so at this point, experiments are needed
and Henderson came with a high set of references backing him up.
Wasting No Time - Farewell:
Henderson made it clear that any feelings going forward about the organization leaking out to the public with bad intentions,
wouldn't be accepted. Henderson right away made two block buster moves that will change the whole face of the Buffalo Sabres.
This all in his first day as General Manager!
Jack Eichel Shipped:
After a series of angry out bursts over the last few years, Travis Henderson finally did what he feels, should've been done long ago.
Eichel who has played for the team since 2015/2016 campaign finally gets shipped off to the Montreal Canadiens. In return,
Henderson was able to get a 2nd Round Pick in the 2021 draft and 20 Year Old, Center, Nick Suzuki!
Not Done There:
Another player of recent that openly is fed up is forward Jeff Skinner. Only spending the last 2 seasons with the team, he's made it very
openly known he would take a trade to get out of the system here. Henderson wasted no time making it a reality. They traded 1 for 1
as we seen Jeff Skinner, 28 headed to the Nashville Predators. In return; the Buffalo Sabres received Mikael Granlund, 28.
