And that concludes the Buffalo Sabres 2013 draft. And though I may be somewhat biased on this
I'm very pleased with the results. Size, grit, speed, skill, and character were all added, and some in spades. Monahan at 7 was a great start, grabbing Hurley (thanks rey
) in round 2, Hill slipping till the 3rd, 2 solid d-men, one offensive, one defensive in Mason and Michael in the 5th. And late round grabs of Henriksson and Bowles, I would be very pleased with the Sabres if they came out with something like this. Add to the fact they added an extra 1st and 2nd in this draft, and the potential for the Sabres to hit nicely in the draft this year is very high.
