If it's any consolation, Bylsma referred to Jack's sprain as "moderate".

Ankle's are tricky, I wouldn't rush Eichel back. If it's 6-8 weeks then that's what it is.

Just like how none of the people who are bummed at the Eichel injury have said the season is over.

but hey putting words in someones mouth seems to be a common thing and appears to only be allowed one way.

Not sure why they wouldn't try Reinhart out at C. If there was ever a time for him to try it it'd be now.

Seriously. Love Jochen. A prime example of how a very sound and consistent player gets overlooked because he lacks "Star Power".
- Buffalo--Sabres


His versatility was tremendous and I'll always remember being there when he picked up the puck along the boards heading towards the blue line, turned 180 along the wall driving towards corner before sending a perfect cross crease pass to Briere who scored the OT winner "on at least his 15th shot of the game innnnnn oooovvvveeerrrrrtime!"

Maybe Bylsma is going with something he knew worked at the start of last season?

Or perhaps he wants to get him more time there in practice before he puts him there for a game?

Just a few thoughts...

I'll return to posting Eeyore pics now...

He has been playing wing for a while now . Maybe he has gotten used to it and wants to stay there. I dunno.

Agreed, several players, coaches, analysts have said this as well. Saying that it still affects you even after that time frame.

Will be curious to see.

If the Sabres win, I have a feeling we will be told that losing Eichel wasnt as bad as it seems.
