The Buffalo Sabres faithful will forever enjoy watching Alex Tuch embarrass Eichel at the KeyBank Center on March 10th. And while it will be years before we find out who gets the last laugh in this feud, right now, the Sabres are up 1-0.

But we still need to admit the obvious: Jack Eichel was a great player in Buffalo. Not Connor McDavid great, obviously, but when you score 355 points in 375 appearances for a single franchise, you were doing something right on game day. That said, Eichel gets the Number 2 selection.

But hey, at least someone on the Sabres played well enough throughout their young career that I didn’t have to rank him Number 1. Let’s find out who that player is and what has made them THE BEST of the past 10 first round picks.
