They spliced the clip and posted it on X. Didn’t show her having the lefty meltdown. |

For voicing a hockey related opinion.

Eichel and Reinhart won Cups. Buffalo just wasn't smart enough to keep them healthy and happy to have it happen in Buffalo. ROR was another they let go.
There's a long list of players Buffalo either drafted and dumped or whiffed on at the draft. - Rare_Jewel
Eichel and Reinhart winning cups had precisely zero to do with Buffalo tanking.
Florida and Vegas didn't "just keep tanking" either.

Eichel and Reinhart are examples of good players that the Sabres just didn't, couldn't or wouldn't properly build around. Both did go on to show that they could be successful players, so I think there's some evidence there that the Sabres did give up on them - or at a minimum fail them.
The Sabres, as you'd noted, drafted in the top-10 for 10 straight years between 2013 and 2022 (Ristolainen, Reinhart, Eichel, Nylander, Mittelstadt, Dahlin, Cozens, Quinn, Power and Savoie).
Of that list, I think you have Dahlin, Dozens, Quinn and Power are still on the team.
Obviously we can argue that they could have drafted better - they could have managed their deeper picks better (over that same time they also drafted Zadorov, Compher, Guhle, Hagel, Luukonen, Olofssson and, I suppose, Samuelsson - so not a lot given the dozens and dozens of picks they made). But a good team is really built on the ability of your top few stars - they dictate the team. Obviously this isn't for all teams - but many teams are built that way and the depth players hold the fort for the stars. Buffalo kept moving out their stars, giving up on them, and never really supporting them. If that team is ever going to see success they need to support them.
So in a way - in the conversation - you're both hitting on problems with the Sabres rebuild. A rebuild starts with a new foundation and you can't establish that if you keep tearing apart the new foundation.

I'd need to see a replay, but wasn't that boarding by Chiarot on Robertson? |
