One Questions
1. What will the Sabres do without Ryan O’Reilly?
They called up Justin Bailey, but this question is more about how to replace O’Reilly’s 21+ minutes of top-line centerman duties. I would guess that today could be a tryout for Jack Eichel in the #1 role, unless the team wants to get crazy and put someone like Johan Larsson or David Legwand up there.
Bylsma said you wouldn’t have picked up 90’s injury during the game. He was limping afterwards.Both @JeremyWGR and I are hearing long term
