I hadn't watched Boldy but the kid looks solid. I think there is no way the Sabres don't come away with a really nice player at 7. Might not be the player everyone wants but will be a really good player regardless.
The funny thing about this draft is that not too long ago, many people held the belief that it wasn't up to the standard of years past. The talent coming out of the CHL, particularly representation from the Ontario league, isn't what we've come to expect, but what was grossly overlooked was the amount of talent on the NTDP. That team has a disproportionate selection of elite talent on the roster relative to the draft. A good portion of them will go top 15. So while this draft may not have exceptional depth going into to say -- Round 3, it still has some fantastic players, especially in the top round.
I'm expecting the Sabres to come away with a really good player. I have my reservations about some of the talent slated to go in that 5-8 range (Cozens), but I'm confident we'll do ok. I also expect there to be a lot of bitching and complaining about the pick, but that's nothing new around here.
