If we assume no help incoming via trade, what about the UFA route this off season?

I guess a lot depends on how we end up doing this season.
Marty and Duffer have a new podcast. Seems to be more conversational look at sabres hockey. Episode 1 is a conversation with Don. Epi 2 is with Alex Tuch. Worth a listen imo.
Sad story though. He owns the team (as did his father) and he realises that it will fold if he stops playing. The other players get paid out of the sponsorship money. He feels obligated to keep going for their sakes.

What happens to Eichel the first time he plays against the Tom Wilsons/Claude Lemuiexs of this world who target his neck? For me that would be one of the biggest worries.
