Buffalo Sabres forward Ryan O'Reilly says he's optimistic about the coming NHL season.

Ryan and his brother Cal, from Varna, both play for the Sabres. Ryan says ownership there is committed to icing a winning team in Buffalo and they've done a great job of putting some big pieces together. O'Reilly points out a lot of teams have improved in the off-season so it's not going to be easy but he believes if the teams come together over the length of the season they'll be contenders.

He adds management has done its job and this year it's on the players.
