The tools are in place on the Sabres for this to be Jack Eichel’s best season of his career.
The Buffalo Sabres will have their most high powered offense since acquiring Jack Eichel. They went out and acquired Taylor Hall who will pair very nicely with the Sabres captain. It is silly to say that Jack would not thrive this season, but could we see Eichel have better production this year than any previous season?
Given that this season will be almost 30 games shorter than any other season Jack has played in since joining the NHL, it is extremely unlikely that we will see him set career highs in any stats such as goals, assists, or points.
