GDT: NHL entry draft 7/23 & 7/24

[tsujimoto74]

Yeah, that's a bit concerning and something I hope we address as the Draft goes on.

This late in the draft, meh. The likelihood any of these guys even becomes a legit NHL prospect, much less player, are so slim that it'd really just be paying lip service to the idea of acquiring center talent. Guess we're all in on tanking for Wright or Bedard.

Hell, guys picked this late can certainly develop into AHL-level players who can get cups of coffee in the NHL. Every organization needs those.

Ryan Miller, Paul Gaustad and VO were all picked 5+ round.

After the second round, it’s usually all lotto ticket land.

Imagine being picked 7 overall and being the lowest drafted of you and your two siblings.

Now your just making names up...I kid, thanks for the insights on some deep picks

 

[m0pe]

Marjala...I dig it.

Had him as a top-100 player.

 

[Jim Bob]

OK, that guy needs a nickname pronto. And not WVBL.

 

[vcv]

Oh look, Sabres are pulling another Taro Tsujimoto.




wait... that's a real name? Come on.

 

[RWatson29]

Unreal draft so far for buffalo. So many high risk picks which is what we need. Swing for the fences.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

I hope one of you Sabres fans is getting a jersey of the super villain you just drafted. That is the greatest name I think I've ever seen at a draft. I really hope that kid makes the NHL one day.

The Baron will lead the calvary that saves the Sabres!

 

[Woodhouse]

I wouldn't mind a WHL prospect with one of these last two picks. That would complete a solid mix of prospect leagues in the pipeline so that I could pull double-duty and watch BUF prospects vs 2022 eligibles regularly.

 

[Ace]

YES BACK TO RUSSIANS

 

[m0pe]

More Russians!

Novikov is interesting...not sure I feel he is worth a draft pick but hey

 

[Ehran]

Ranked #67 by TSN/CRAIG BUTTON

Hmm, 6'4", 207lbs.

 

[Ace]

They’ve taken more interesting prospects today than like…ever.

 

[m0pe]

We have taken 4 Russian prospects; 2 from 2 different teams now

 

[RWatson29]

We’ve easily had a top 3 draft out of any team this year. Skill on skill on skill

 

[BritSabre]

Love that we are drafting Russians again

this is the first time I can walk out of…anything…the team has done in forever feeling like they had a plan and executed it.

take the top player 1. Go crazy on upside the rest of the way

 

[Fjordy]
