Some high hopes and expectations were placed on some of the younger Buffalo Sabres players this season. With top end talent like Jack Eichel and Sam Reinhart in the pro lineup, the rebuild talk ended and the winning talk commenced. With that kind talk came the high expectations, and a push for success. We all had seen the likes of what a hard working player like Zemgus Girgensons could do at a young age, so the expectations for these younger, more talented prospects got even higher. Young defenders that were supposed to be budding stars were expected to start stepping up more (meaning Rasmus Ristolainen and Jake McCabe) and so far this year, all of them are succeeding in their current roles.
