Toronto Maple Leafs: 2021-22 Atlantic Division Preview
By Andrew Kogut
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.
