It seems unlikely, but here it is. The Buffalo Sabers are relevant again and seem to come out of nowhere. The Minnesota Wild haven’t met with the West New York boys this year, but they will host the Wild and show off all the progress they’ve made since trading Jack Eichel over a year ago. What exactly has changed? Drafted 18th overall in 2014, Alex Touch leads the team in physical play, versatility, and consistency. 18 goals and 42 goals in 36 games. He holds his one of hockey’s highest ranks as a winger alongside Jeff Skinner and Teiji his Thompson. Buffalo fills the lead, as the true story of his Sabers (and his entire NHL) is the meteoric rise of the lanky freak Teiji his Thompson. This 6-foot-6-inch boy has scored 55 points in 36 games.
This is third in the league behind the regular season’s most popular Leon Dry Saitle for his and Edmonton Oilers’ Conor for a man named McDavid. No one, including St. Louis Blues’ Ryan O’Reilly and Teiji Thompson Stans, thought he would be the player he was. He has scored 30 goals this season. This is an unheard-of record outside of Oiler’s superstars and Ouston his Matthews. He has trouble every night, and his first line is downright deadly with Thompson as the central linchpin.
