Actually, with no tank, there would be no Eichel and anyone who watches the Sabres knows it. They may be losing right now, but he's a star in the making and is going to have a long, excellent career leading the Sabres.
As for the Bills, they are really trimming the fat and not in a good way. They are setting Tyrod up to prove he's a star or if not, they'll be one of the first in line to grab a QB next year's draft. Either way, the Bills benefit.
