Some more UDFA ink -

The top guy on this list, Mackey, has been to Sabre dev camp and would be a nice add to the LHD stable.

Mackey is interesting for sure, haven’t seen much of him because I just don’t care for the Mankato program and never pay any attention to it.
Pasichnuk and Maniscalco are both kids I’ve followed for awhile and I’m glad they both finally got some ink.
Same with Dunne and Khodorenko.
I talked to Bakes about McMann from Colgate last summer and he’s been giving him some attention, he plays for a program that is mediocre but has led them in scoring for three of his four seasons and has a surprising skill set; I remember the first time I did pre-scout film on him during his freshman year and I was just shocked.
Slaker from Michigan was one of my favorite players as a recruit, though I’m not sure how he projects as an NHL’er.

Still hoping for some European help.

Is he that much better than his stats? 20 points as a 23 year old doesn't scream professional, let alone NHLer.

EP's scouting report is glowing, albeit more of a character guy than as an offensive guy. Most UDFA are probably going to be that sort of depth forward or defensive defenseman now.

Does anyone know what happened to Portillo?
He hasn't been in the Dubuque boxscores for weeks.

Haven't seen anything. He hasn't played since Feb. 22nd.

Interesting that UDFA collegians won't have the option to burn a year by playing NHL games to end this season if there is no season. Similarly, Frozen Four heroics and European playoff heroics will not be selling points for some hopefuls.

K'Andre Miller and Alex Turcotte have both turned pro, leaving the Badgers.

From google translate:

At the end of the season it is time for transfer rumors: the Buffalo Sabers are aiming for a Ilves forward, this time Eemeli Suomi.

Sabres reportedly have interest in Finnish free agent Eemeli Suomi

Eemeli Suomi at eliteprospects.com

He has been wearing the C for Ilves the past two seasons.

He was second in Liiga scoring this season and he has played a bit with R2. So, the report seems to make a lot of sense.

For Clarkson’s Devin Brosseau, mixing volunteer work with hockey is seamless

Here is another guy that has worn a C the past two seasons that the Sabres might want to look at. He also wore an A as a sophomore.

He was a standout at the Jackets Dev Camp last summer. Seems like someone they should be interested in (position, character, ability) and would be a nice depth move.

Another center off the board - Kahun's former teammate Michaelis joins the Canucks.

Well shit. I was hoping for him too - local ties, high motor, offensive skills. Reminds me of when they signed Miele out from under Buffalo.

I liked Mackey.

On the topic of prospects, what the hell happended to Luke Adam? Idolized him growing up and he dropped of the face of the earth (I know he went to the DEL).
