Buffalo needs to start moving out those prospects that are very similar out to get fill in areas they are missing.

It's completely crazy that they have not done this already to bring in much needed D with defensive acumen or solid shutdown 3C types. They are brimming with skill wingers with only so many roster spots long term.

C And D have the most trade value. So if Buffalo is overloaded on skilled wingers not going to get equal talent back in return. But, only so many spots available in the top 6 for these skilled kids. Need to have a better mix.

USA are perfect at pouncing on mistakes. Sweden’s barely put the wrong foot forward and both times they have, got burned.

Ostlund, Lekkerimaki, Unger Sorum, Willander, Born all look very good.

ASP, Salomonsson and Ohgren look disappointing. Watching Ohgren reminds me of seeing Virtanen in the world juniors and trying to find positives from him holding onto the puck but not creating anything with it.

Oren tops out as a 4C in the nhl
Just not enough offence
