At times, Eichel was seen talking to his linies to presumably coach them on the ice. You’re not going to go get good players and everything is going to be awesome. Kane said he is “close to 100 percent” healed from shoulder surgery in February.

Eichel is in Minnesota as the Sabres open the preseason against the Wild.
Eichel was the star in Buffalo’s win at the prospects challenge last Monday, however, he was playing against prospects.
Sabres forward Vaclav Karabacek made it 2-1 in the second period, but it was when Bruins forward Zachary Senyshyn took a holding penalty late in the third when Eichel helped tie the game. As reported by Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News, rather than celebrate in some special fashion, Eichel casually celebrated with his teammates. The Sabres have 15 forwards and nine defensemen with legitimate shots to make the team. “I’ve already scored 30”.
Wild D and Team U.S. veteran Ryan Suter was impressed by Eichel’s complete game.

Eichel said, “What type of player they are, where they’re going to be and they’re probably thinking the same, where am I going to be on the ice”. “For us, let’s try to do that now”. O’Reilly and Kane will produce goals while Lehner is expected to be the mainstay in goal. He scored 27 points (9+18) last season and was regularly a 40 point player early in his career. Two new goalies that didn’t play here previous year at all. His head for the game is tremendous and that goal he scored, to see him read the play, poke it out and I don’t think there are too many guys that can catch him once he gets a step on them.
