So for those of us that are late to the party, why all the lineups with JT? Potential trade or probably a dream?

one of the scenarios had alzner on the top pair. Even with JT thats more of a nightmare than anything else

Looking at McAvoy you could be right he's going to be a star

Eichel playing with Gaudreau makes me wish we had Keller tho

I thought defense was more like special teams and didn't matter?

JT can play point, no?

it stemmed off an idea about trading for Ovi. I thought a trade for JT would be more realistic. The idea was thrown out there and here we are

I loved Tim Connoly haha. One of the best stick handlers ive ever seen on the Sabres. Nylander...Not so much

Connolly was legit

Nylander was picked with the hype of playing against his brother and adding another winger to Jack's arsenal. Having him also gives a little flexibility for a trade but when you look at Sergechev, McAvoy and Chychrun picked after him makes you cringe right now.

Dont think Sabres trade Reinhart but love the dream scenarios

Too think we could be the Oilers right now with Leon draisaitl and Connor McDavid or Leon draisaitl and Jack eichel makes me sad

I remember MANY "annointed one" comments on here when I was saying how good Ekblad would be...

Imagine our team with McDavid & Ekblad

Even just having Ekblad would change the dynamic of this team quite a bit

It's sad we never got to see his full potential

Just like Derick brassard after that concussion his rookie year he became half the player he was supposed to be
