Pelletier 62P 66GP AHL, age 21
Berggren 64P 70GP AHL, age 22

Stankoven 104P 59GP / 17G 31P 17GP playoffs WHL, age 18/19
Zellweger 78P 55GP WHL, age 18 (5'9 Dman)
Bourque 68P 31GP / 25P 16GP playoffs QMJHL, age 19
Guhle 40P 42GP / 16P 19GP playoffs WHL, age 20


going with Stankoven.... cant underestimate this past season and his age.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Zellweger for me here. He is so damn elite.

 

[goonybird]

Othmann. It's not his fault their other prospects have disappointed.

Yzerman and Buffalos management both wanted Kasper over Savoie, doesnt make sense at all to have Savoie above Kasper

Adams office is usually pretty tight lipped. Genuinely curious where you've seen that.

Roughly Translated: The Buffalo Sabres wanted Marco Kasper at 9th overall, but Detroit got their man with pick #8

A couple of days ago, the Kleine Zeitung in Austria posted a behind-the-paywall article discussing Red Wings 8th overall draft pick Marco Kasper and his relationship with his dad, Peter, who was a …

From a swiss article where I believe the source was actually Kaspers dad.

Interesting. Yurov's coach said the Sabres were definitely picking him yet they passed on him twice. There isn't much info that gets out of that office.

I imagine if the source is Kaspers dad that Draper or Yzerman someone was talking about how Buffalo tried to trade up but they wanted him so they turned it down.

We can't disagree with them? I'll still take Savoie (and I do really like Kasper)

 

[Maitz]

Went with Knies, next Guhle for me

 

[GOALOFSSON]

I know we tried to trade our 16th for Ottawa's pick but Murray wouldn't come here or something

 

[teravaineSAROS]

Was going to go with Mintyukov but he's not there. Stop the count!

 

[EdJovanovski]

Vitali

 

[RememberTheName]

Other - Yurov again.

You can but its pretty dumb to do so at this point. Yzerman and Buffalo's front office liked Kasper more, we have a scout on record saying Kasper was in discussion for 2nd overall etc.

But on HFboards where I imagine you barely watched any of Kaspers games last year at all youre gonna disagree?

 

[Xirik]

Don't understand the Guhle votes, Seems like most people think he is a 3/4th Defenseman. Meanwhile there are still seven-ish forwards that have top 6 potential with some having the chance at being 1st liners.

The Sabres under Adams have put an absolute premium on high end skill with their picks. I don’t believe for a second they valued Kasper’s much lower skill level over Savoie. Even if his mommy were to come out and tell you too. They were trying to trade for 7 with 16 because that was a good value to take Murray’s contract. The idea anyone knows how their board was ranked is hilarious since no one can get one accurate whisper out of the organization about anything. But yeah…kasper’s dad saw the big board for sure!

And if you’re mad about Savoie being taken first in this poll…you should write angry letters to *clears throat* elite prospects, ISS, FChockey, McKeens, Central Scouting and McKenzie’s scout poll for doing it to.

Guess they didn’t watch Kasper games either.

Enjoy your third line player.

I have a handful on the board I'd take over Guhle, but if you think he's an effective 22 minute a night D-man then there's nothing wrong with preferring that to second line caliber forwards. There's a lot of HF darling scorers that can pot 50 or so points that teams don't value as highly as their second pair D.

Taking Savoie over Kasper is the exact sort of thing HFers would do but NHL teams would not. Bob's poll would suggest it is at least close but even his poll tends to overrate small wingers relative to where they go on draft day.

 

[CoSi]

Maccelli is better than every AHLer on this list unfortunately

 

[Ctrain2k]

Even over a guy like Broberg who’s pretty much just a better Guhle.

 

[hamzarocks]

Damn the Sabres got 4 in the top 25.

Don't think they had that many in 2015-2019 period

Some of those names should surely be core level players (Powers for certain, than I think quinn/Savoie one is a core piece and the other a good compliementary one)

 

[Favin]

Same list I had last time. But none are options.

Kirill Marchenko
Brock Faber
Thomas Bordeleau
Justin Barron
Scott Morrow
Alex Turcotte

So went with Knies again
