This entire organization went into the crapper for one player.
That player turned out to be Jack Eichel. Two years later, the team is floundering not only into obscurity... but into position to have a legit shot at the top pick in the next draft.
I fully realize Jack is a 20 year old kid, but it's time for Jack to start carrying the burden of being "the man" in Buffalo. That ownership is more than throwing a temper tantrum in a post game lockeroom. Beginning next year, he needs to wear the C. This year, he needs to start taking over with how he performs on ice.
As he so "poignantly" bellowed leading up to the draft... "Buffalo! I'm coming for you!"
Well Jack... you're here.
Time to own it!
