When the Sabres last made the playoffs in 2011, their rookie forward Zach Benson was 6 years old.
While the Sabres are frustrated to have missed the playoffs yet again, there are many bright pieces for their future including Tage Thompson, Jack Quinn, JJ Peterka, Rasmus Dahlin, Owen Power, Bowen Byram, and the aforementioned Benson.
There will almost certainly be changes coming in Buffalo this offseason and we will hope they can overcome their struggles and make a playoff run during the 2024-25 season.
