Ryan O’Reilly and his new Sabres teammates know that they have work to do in Training Camp. New faces can be found all over the locker room and with those new faces come the job of assimilating, both to your new teammates and your new surroundings.
They’re playing under a new coaching staff and leaning on the maturation of young players, all while trying to build on a 54-point season.
But O’Reilly also looks around and sees the talent that’s been brought into the organization over the summer; he sees the ability of prospects like Jack Eichel and Sam Reinhart, the potential to play alongside Evander Kane and Tyler Ennis; the intellect of the Sabres’ new coach, Dan Bylsma.
