Episode six breaks down the end of NHL lockout and the team at a mini training camp for the players to prepare for a shortened season.
According to the team, ” find out what happened as the NHL lockout came to end and business resumed for the Buffalo Sabres.

Episode seven in the series takes a look at the decision to draft Mikhail Grigorenko.
According to the team, “When the Buffalo Sabres drafted Russian forward Mikhail Grigorenko 12th overall in last June’s NHL Entry Draft, it surprised many people. But in many ways, the move demonstrated a new organizational philosophy on taking chances on the future, rather than drafting based on past history.”
