If Sabres fans genuinely believe they need a C more than a star winger, they have reached Oiler fan levels of delusion. The Sabres have 4 top 6 forwards, only one of whom is a legitimate first liner. Having a setup guy for Eichel, rather than Eichel being the set up guy for Skinner would lift Eichel to a new level of production. When you are that bad and need to improve ASAP or risk having Eichel demand a trade, you need the best players you can get regardless of position.
