Buffalo Sabres
With the team mostly gutted and Jack Eichel stripped of his captaincy and unlikely to suit up this year, Buffalo fans are going to be in for a long season. The forward depth-chart looks like names listed from a non-licensed Sega Genesis hockey game.
For example, can anyone identify which of the following names are potential Buffalo Sabres top-9 forwards for 2021-2022 and which are names I made up from NHL’s fake-90’s-international-hockey-name generator app?
- Arttu Ruotsalainen
- Anders Bork
- Vinnie Hinostroza
- Tage Thompson
- Rasmus Asplund
- Zemgus Girgensons
- Drake Caggiula
If you picked any of the numbers from 1-7 of the above names then you would be right; all of those are actual NHL players that have a legitimate shot of playing in the top-9 for the Sabres this year. Yikes.
Over/Under- 20 wins? I might choose the under.
*the app listed above does not actually exist but if any tech guru is interested, hit me up- here’s an example: Jorgus Mandervogt.
