From the very short article..."There is speculation that the Futures Game will be returning to Buffalo."

Big deal.

just a rumor.

One prospect to keep an eye on that could fall right into the Sabres lap in the 2015 draft that is playing on team USA and that will play at First Niagara Center in the prospects game is Jack Eichel.

USA's Jack Eichel, 17, already turning heads

McDavid is projected as the No. 1 pick in the 2015 draft, and Massachusetts native Eichel will be rated close to him. No Americans are projected to go in the top 10 picks in 2014, but Seth Jones went No.4 in June and a U.S. player has been taken at least that high six times since 2005.


"I think Jack Eichel is in the conversation for the top three," said Button, a former Calgary Flames general manager and longtime NHL scout.

Eichel, 17, is the youngest player on the talent-laden U.S. national junior team's preliminary roster, and there is ample buzz about him in the NHL community.

"He can make plays at high levels of speed," Pittsburgh Penguins pro scout Don Waddell said. "His hockey sense is off the charts."

(http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/hockey/2013/12/16/jack-eichel-team-usa/4046439/)Eichel, who is 6-1 and 190 pounds, plays like a force.
