Time to kick the hornet’s nest!
The Buffalo Sabres may be hanging out with the NHL’s worst teams once again, but it’s certainly not due to a lack of effort from Buffalo’s two dynamic rookies.
Jack Eichel (20-26-46) and Sam Reinhart (19-14-33) currently rank second and eighth, respectively, among all NHL rookies, and are giving fans in the 716 reason to believe the Buffalo Sabres may actually be a season or two removed from qualifying for the playoffs.
As dynamic as the two of these kids have been, what Eichel is doing is even more impressive, given the fact that he was a mere 18 years-old when the season began.
