The Buffalo Sabres, led by general manager Kevyn Adams, put together another quiet offseason as they'll once again rely heavily on internal improvement if they're finally going to end their unacceptable 14-year NHL playoff drought. Adam Gretz of Bleacher Report took aim at the Sabres on Thursday by giving them an 'F' offseason grade and saying, "The fans here deserve better." It's hard to argue with that statement as Buffalo remains one of the best hockey markets in the United States despite the team's endless struggles. Do the Buffalo Sabres deserve an 'F' grade for the 2025 NHL offseason? Although some analytics projections are bullish on the Sabres, even the most glowing endorsement puts them as a fringe playoff hopeful.
