One Of The Reason Why Eric Staal Is In Buffalo

Cut one of those skids in half and the Sabres are in the Toronto bubble in August. The Sabres were 0-10-2 during their two droughts – there's that word again – and had no time left to overcome the second one. It was a season-killing run of six straight regulation losses immediately after acquiring Dominik Kahun and Wayne Simmonds at the trade deadline. In recent years, this team simply can't handle much adversity in a game or from game to game.
The Sabres acquired Staal from Minnesota in September for Marcus Johansson to improve their lineup on the ice – and their intestinal fortitude off it.
