Sleeper: Sam Reinhart -- Like last year's Calder Trophy winner

Sleeper: Sam Reinhart -- Like last year's Calder Trophy winner, Nathan MacKinnon, Reinhart possesses all the tools needed to become be an NHL star. The question is, when will that happen? For MacKinnon, things evolved quickly, and if Reinhart can make the opening-night lineup, there's a chance the forward could take home some hardware in June. Reinhart had 36 goals and 105 points in the WHL last season and is worth a pick late in your draft based on his tremendous upside.

Coach Ted Nolan arrived in November and at least helped make the club's losses more competitive.

For Nolan, success next season might not be defined by wins or points, but by how some of the franchise's top young players develop at the NHL level. In an effort to help those young players, the Sabres added several veterans while expunging some bad contracts.

Matt Moulson and Brian Gionta will be leaned on as much for their work ethic and the examples they set as their ability to help revive an anemic offense. The Sabres missed out on the No. 1 pick in the 2014 NHL Draft but still grabbed a potential franchise center in Sam Reinhart at No. 2.
