I mean, Zib was a ppg last year too I'm pretty sure on a pretty bad rangers team. He won't score 40+ every year but hes without a doubt an elite centre who plays a solid two way game who now gets to play with Panarin on the PP. The Sabres need a lot more than depth and the more they lose, the harder it'll be to win with their current core. I'm willing to be a lot of money that Eichel leaves Buffalo before his contract is up AND the Sabres won't make the playoffs prior to that exit

Eichel can’t leave. He can only request a trade, which the Sabres don’t have to do. Eichel is signed for 6 more years. The Sabres hold all the cards. And yes, the Sabres just need depth. Their top line and 4th lines are great. It’s the second and third lines that struggled. If they get a true 2C and another depth winger, they’re in a playoff hunt. A top pairing vet dman would help as well.
