Islanders: Taking Advantage Of Buffalo Sabres Rebuild

On Tuesday, the Buffalo Sabres fired 22 people in their front office, including General Manager Jason Botterill. It's abundantly clear that this team is looking to rebuild as they haven't made the playoffs since the 2010-2011 season.

As great as it would be for the Islanders to go out and try to pry away a Jack Eichel via trade, as the Sabres hit the reset button, that seems extremely unlikely. While Eichel might not be able to be had, maybe Sam Reinhart could be acquired via trade.

Reinhart is 24 years old and has been a regular in the NHL for five years.
