Tomorrow's the day Buffaloonians have been waiting for all year! It's the day that the Sabres spent a third round pick to get to. It's the day Jimmy "I don't care for hot chicken" Vesey officially becomes a free agent, and after spending a third round pick to get some extra wooing time, the rumours are all surrounding the fact that...

Tomorrow has the potential to be one of the greatest days since Mike Babcock ditched the Sabres for the Leafs. Remember that? From last summer?

What we learned from Mike Babcock's introduction as Leafs coach | NHL | Sporting News

You know what we learned? Mike Harrington is a sensitive soul who will drive hundreds of kilometers to whine at a press conference.

Oh what a day that was.

But that's just a coach, it's the players that really matter, like Steven Stamkos. Remember that? When the Sabres offered him all the money to join them?

Sabres "All In" on Steven Stamkos: Report

But Stamkos stayed in Tampa, even the Maple Leafs and their pool of awesome prospects couldn't woo him away.

How about when the tank was SO OBVIOUS for McDavid that they hosted an Erie Otters game because

"The Sabres organization has made a real commitment to develop and grow hockey at every level"

said Sabres president Ted BlackLOLOLOL So how many non-McDavid games have they hosted? That's right, NONE.

Also they sold these:

And how did the team react when they lost and had to, ugh, draft Jack Eichel?

Sabres GM Tim Murray: ‘I’m disappointed for our fans’

Wow! Why aren't superstars lining up to play for PPP's friend Tim Murray?

But, it's okay Buffalo, as long as you didn't come on too strong you won't chase him away.

Well, you know all about driving players away, eh?

Sabres never in running to re-sign co-captains - Sports - The Buffalo News

Poor, poor Sabres.Well hey, atleast you have quality forwards on your team like Eichel and...uh...Masterson Nominee Ryan O'Rielly (seriously, good one Buffalo Media), and...well..you know.

Listen, the team itself may or may not look good in the future, but there are other factors that come into play when picking a team. Like, is the city constantly on fire?

How about the views you can get from your windows?

Or, is the owner such a cheap billionaire they charge $20 for ROOKIE CAMP games? Hey, if Vesey loved tightwad billionaire owners he'd be going to Edmonton or Detroit.

Atleast he'd have the support of the Buffalo News if he signs there:

Sorry Buffalo, but tomorrow may not be your day.
