I cannot be the only Buffalo Sabres fan thinking something like this. When coach Phil Housley broke up the original top line of Eichel-Reinhart-Sheary, I was skeptical because he was taking apart the one line that was producing. Little did the rest of Sabres fans know that this move would be a stroke of genius as Eichel was put between struggling forwards Jason Pominville and Jeff Skinner.
Since their union, this line has been one of the hottest in the NHL besides the Colorado Avalanche line of Nathan MacKinnon– Gabriel Landeskog–Mikko Rantanen.
