Definitely noted on all fronts. I appreciate the feedback and will factor it into my consensus mock. It does sound like Buffalo's fan base is clamouring for a forward at No. 7. As mentioned, Caufield was the forward that I had in mind. Would you be happier with him? Or do you prefer any/all of Dach, Cozens, Krebs, Newhook, Boldy?
There is some scuttlebutt from someone who tends to know the mind of the team that they are leaning toward Boldy since their one true love, err Alex Turcotte will be gone and their second choice for the prom, err Trevor Zegras has impressed enough to get a look ahead of their pick at 7OA.
I think they should be looking at the centers and choose between the WHL trio of Dach, Cozens or Krebs if those are the guys there. The HF board mock had the board vote in Krebs as the choice, based on a need for both skill and Krebs style being a big missing from the Sabres makeup. That said, it's hard to argue with big men who move well and can create offense. *shrug*
Edit: that vote was done with Cozens, Dach, Turcotte all off the board and Krebs won out over Zegras in a bit of a run-off. So... I would think they would probably take Dach or Cozens over Krebs if the three were still there, even if Krebs does give them something else they sorely lack.
Again, I appreciate all the work and I found it an entertaining read.
