Buffalo is a long way from that work ethic, though. And Buffalo doesn't need to stink for 3 years -- look at Detroit, they draft well and develop players without having a Top 3 draft pick. THAT'S the model to follow. Be tough on defense like Orpik and make sure all your forwards commit to playing both ends of the ice. Buffalo is a long way from that work ethic, though.
