The Sabres have one of the NHL's biggest trade chips, and they can't afford to waste it

As a 22 year old D-man, Owen Power came into the league as one of the most promising players, especially lining up with fellow first overall pick Rasmus Dahlin.

Leverkusen have reached their top form under the new coach. They lost a lot of talent but also brought in talent. When you see how many chances they create and how many goals they score, they're still a dangerous team that's picked up results in the Bundesliga. So, this is still a top game in the Bundesliga. And we've got the rivalry of the past few years that still exists in our squad.

The Cowboys defense is among the worst in franchise history

The defense chose to not show up once more, and this time the offense couldn't save them. It was a failure on just about every level and resulted in a score that made the Denver Broncos feel quite proud of themselves. You are well aware that the Cowboys are one of the worst defenses in NFL history to date, but those types of statements sound like exaggeration and hyperbole. Thanks to the offerings of Stathead and Pro Football Reference we can prove these unfortunately-not-outlandish claims.

By just about any standard, Rielly just endured a season to forget. His production slipped from 58 to 41 points, making it tougher to stomach the weaknesses that always come with his strengths.
