The dream has finally become reality, and the Sabres have their future #1 franchise center.
With the #2 overall selection in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, the Buffalo Sabres have proudly selected Jack Eichel.
Let me say that again:
THE BUFFALO SABRES HAVE OFFICIALLY DRAFTED JACK EICHEL.
After three long years of tanking, suffering, firings, infighting, and controversy, the Sabres have the prize they've been missing for decades. Eichel is universally projected by analysts, scouts, GMs and coaches to become a #1 franchise center, the type of player who can turn your team from a playoff contender into a Stanley Cup contender.
