O'Reilly finished as the team's leading point getter in his first season with Buffalo.

Analysis:

O'Reilly was third on the team with 21 goals and first with 39 assists, falling four points shy of his career-high. Despite a spotty record in free agency, the Sabres managed to hit with O'Reilly, who also averaged 21:44 of ice time per night, more than any other Sabres forward, and was also named the team's Masterton Trophy nominee for his hard work and dedication. The Sabres are Jack Eichel's team, but O'Reilly has a very big role to play. With a healthy season of potential linemate Evander Kane and an improved year from the Sabres, O'Reilly can be an excellent fantasy player.
