Jack Eichel's Imaginable Future With The Buffalo Sabres

The Buffalo Sabres young gun has helped his team climb back into the playoff race. Adam dishes on where Eichel could wind up.

With Jack Eichel as the face and future of the Buffalo Sabres, what does that mean for us? It means a few things:

We all know it here in 716 that Jack Eichel is our savior; he is our newest Jim Kelly or Gilbert Perrault in the making. And honestly, I don’t really care if the NHL or NBCSN appreciates it or not; they can’t realize awesome when it slaps them in the face! They are more concerned about making Cindy in Pittsburgh, Matthews in Toronto and McDavid is Edmonton superstars for America. Why the hell would the poop heads in Toronto want to promote an “unworthy” and “puny” American as their poster child?!

But regardless about stupid hockey politics, everybody loves to compare past players to current players…and current players to current players…and Canadians to Canadians…and blaa blaa blaa…

Jack Eichel doesn’t need to be anybody’s all-star but Buffalo’s! He is currently proving to us that he is a leader and the future of our team! With Jack trying hard to lead the charge, it’s only a matter of time before he becomes OUR historic player!

Since people love to compare current players to current players, I will open up the discussion! Not that I am comparing Jack to these players, but we need a benchmark to base our conversation on. How will Jack Eichel’s career turn out to be?

Long story short, I don’t give a hoot who Jack is compared to! It’s like comparing siblings to each other. Yes, all players have a degree of talent, but their skill level is all relative to their day in age…just like you can’t compare the performance ratings of a 2016 Chevy Corvette Z06 to a 1967 Vette Stingray. The Buffalo Sabres have a great young talent in Jack Eichel; whether he succeeds in Buffalo or fails is largely in the hands of the front office.
