Michael Pachla: Building the 2019-20 Buffalo Sabres roster--C, Jack Eichel

We're gonna be good

Huge if true


Oops, wrong thread



We like Eich!

30+60 at least this year. He probably has the best shot in the league for someone who has never hit 30 goals. It's gonna happen

We need to get him a playmaker on the right side. Reinhart was a nice fit up there but we can’t put all of our eggs in one basket. Johansson makes a lot of sense as RW on that top line right now, with that line seeing more defensive zone starts with better outlet puck moving d-men on the roster this season.

Olofsson on the right side is my choice

Bum. Trade him for all the olives.

I think the only thing that should be a given right now is the pairings of Skinner-Eichel and Mitts-Reinhart. We’ll see how the chemistry and competition plays itself out but I’d assume Olofsson and Johansson finish off the top 6 but on which lines remains to be seen. Vesey-Erod-Sheary sounds like a good third line to me.

Skinner-Eichel-MoJo
Olo-Mitts-Rhino
Vesey-Erod-Sheary/Thompson
Wilson-Russtolainen(SP)-KO

Dahlin-Montour
McCabe-Risto
Scandella-Miller

Hutton/Ulmark

Skinner-Eichel-MoJo
Olo-Mitts-Rhino
Vesey-Erod-Sheary/Thompson
Wilson-Russtolainen(SP)-KO

Dahlin-Montour
McCabe-Risto
Scandella-Miller

I feel Sobotka should be sent down to the minors but apparently we are already at the vet limit down there. Botts is nowhere near done with this roster.

We're gonna be good someday

19 minutes...👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀🦉

I'm not sure I want any part of Mantha.

There better be some much better pieces coming back if Risto is involved

I'm not saying Olofsson is a given on the first line. I just think I'd like that.

Frankly, nothing at all should be "a given." Skinner and Eichel is the closest, but even that combo can be broken up. Mitts-Reinhart is definitely NOT a given. There's no reason to assume that combo will be in place.

He's barely a 2C. Says every other fan-base.

Cracker Jack hits 95 points this year.

Ehhhhhhhhhh... they could do worse than Mantha IMO. 20+ goal scorer the last couple of years? If it is a 5 player deal, maybe we can get them to take a salary dump of Sobotka or someone else too.

I love this series.

Will Reinhart be on the top line?
Who will play with Dahlin?


Will Risto be a RWer?

So many questions. Good luck MP.

"Buffalo has a tough road to hoe..."

Was still my favorite part. Let the hoeing begin.

Cap dump? So in this hypothetical trade is BUF giving up anything useful?

LMAO

The guy took Moritz at 6...

Larkin for Risto?

You still owe us "future considerations" for the Hasek trade. Time to cash in.
