I have been following some of the NCAA defenders, but less of the forwards. I have heard his name though, good program and a decent depth player. He'll top out in the bottom6 most likely, but it adds more competition which I am all for. Good signing.

That's good, he sounds like a good skater who has some skills and a brain.

Jack Eichel is the Captain.

delaying putting the "C" on him because some of the wise ones on here believe he is not mature enough or doesn't do enough ( ) is (frank)ing stupid.

Yeah, another low risk, high reward type signing by Botts. Can't argue with that.

Still, we better hope scores all of his goals 5v5 or we're fooked.

Sounds like Lehner is gone

And sounds like 1 of 23,90 might be gone. Wants more speed up front...

Ummm....this doesn't look good for ROR

This is true, both CM and Eichel can skate. No worries with our top 2 C's

It depends on how much he values faceoffs and perceived intangibles.

e-rod as well, if he's still a C next year.

I think if they good a decent deal with Reinhart, ROR is dealt at the draft

Botterill says Eichel has matured a lot as a young man. He's taken the right steps...I feel comfortable me with him and as a big leader. I'll sit down with Phil and determine what's best from a captain perspective. #Sabres



Yup there is your captain next year

0% chance he isn't talking about ROR, right?
