The Sabres crushing Montreal last night made me wonder how a hot start to the season may or may not affect the pressure on Adams to trade Eichel. Obviously it’s the first game of the season so it definitely does not mean they will be good this year… in fact, I agree with everyone that they will likely be terrible.
But if they did have a hot start to the year or even be a huge surprise and have their best season in 10+ years… would that put less pressure on Adams? Most of the pressure he is facing to trade eichel immediately is from eichel himself and from the fans. The fans might not worry about it as much if Buffalo somehow miraculously does not look like a dumpster fire on the ice. Everyone speculated that this eichel problem would be a distraction for the team. What if it’s not?
I really don’t know the answer. Just something I had not considered until now. I have basically assumed the sabres would be awful immediately out of the gate to start the season after the scorched earth offseason they had.
