Eichel on the All Star Team

I like that they used the goalies as the way to power up the offense and get Montreal and Detroit players on the team.  Aren't their supposed to be 3 D on the team?

 

Apparently you can have 8 skaters.  Why wouldn't you add a roster spot and create 3 line combo of 2 forwards and 1 D?  Reilly not making the Atlantic team is just plain stupid.

Fan vote puts the last player on each roster, Reilly will probably be the player voted in and the 3 defenseman on the team.

Let's hope Eichel is back healthy well before that game.

True to the rest of this year's schedule which has been a joke as far as the Sabres are concerned, their "bye week" comes attached to the all-star break (instead of spreading out the rest over the course of the season), so we'll see. Our last game before the All Star game on the 26th is the 18th. 

Bye week being at this time only comes in handy if Jack is out more long term. But in that scenario he misses the next 8 games, so I'd be weary to see where their playoff hopes stand after that.
