Nick breaks down what a Sabres team would look like without Jack Eichel but the return of Sam Reinhart in his second edition of a mock off-season. Why Reinhart's play at center and him re-signing may have a trickle down effect on who the Sabres hire as next head coach & who Buffalo may look to trade Eichel to.
