Tuesday's FTB: Leafs back tomorrow

Sources indicate #Sabres players met with owner Terry Pegula and GM Kevyn Adams today in Montreal.

Summary of message: “We believe in you. The solution is within this room.”

Pegula professed faith in Adams, Ruff, and apparently told players to not expect a big trade.

After a meeting with owner Terry Pegula on Monday, the Buffalo Sabres know their job is to get out of their slump together.

If that doesn't happen, it's hard to pinpoint where it goes from here. (@EricEngels) https://t.co/tSTutaOTMe

Is it time for the Sabres to make a major shakeup to the roster? Is this shaping up to be a lost season for the Rangers? Are the Capitals a true Cup contender?
