Krebs hasn’t even played a full NHL season yet. But you’re right he sucks. Time to move on.

You do know why he dropped in the draft right? Central Scouting had him as a top 10 pick but then he tore his Achilles two weeks before the draft.

Then he’s been bounced around playing for Vegas and Buffalo between the AHL and NHL.

Again, he hasn’t played a full NHL season yet but you’re ready to write him off for having 2 less points in the same amount of games that Reinhart had. Now look at Reinhart.

Not saying he’s a ppg player but he’s a top prospect for a reason, not some middling 1st round pick.

Again, never once said he sucked, nor am I writing him off. How many times do I have to say that? He's an unknown. Pretending otherwise is just being intentionally obtuse.

You don't trade a star center for a 2nd line winger and scratch offs.

Ranked everywhere from 6 to 13

Reinhart 1 to 4

These two are not the same.

Sure, he could be great, and I hope he is. In the handful of games I watched and he played he showed some things, but he could also be Olli Juolevi, or Alex Nylander, or Logan Brown. And that's 3 dudes from one draft's top 11 picks.

Im with you on that 1. In a normal scenario I would never trade my star center for what we got but eichel’s public trade demands kinda forced our hands and other teams low balled us.

Gonna be a lot of prospects flowing through the system the next 3 or so years, gonna be interesting to see how the Sabres handle that. Could be very young players blocking other very young players. Good and bad situation. LA is kinda going through it right now.

I agree. It never should've gotten that far. You're a manager; manage your team.

Conor Garland would be a nice fit in a Sabres uniform.
