Jack Eichel, Sam Reinhart and friends will take on the best that New Jersey and Boston can offer in this precursor to the 2015 preseason.
The annual Buffalo Sabres prospect tournament taking place before the preseason has been an unofficial beginning to the new hockey season for many Buffalo fans. Whether it be the Traverse City tournament or this year's inaugural Prospects Challenge, the youngsters hitting the ice for real games means the rest of the team isn't far behind.
This year, however, the Prospects Challenge holds increased significance thanks to the presence of two of Buffalo's biggest prospects since drafting Gilbert Perreault in 1970, that of course being Jack Eichel and Sam Reinhart.
