Your favorite pick not named Powers.

Took me a while to come around but I'm starting to like the Rosen pick. He's got a little Danny Briere thing going on

 

[Ehran]

I am intrigued to see how the Russian draft picks work out long term. After avoiding Russia for so long, taking four Russians is very interesting.

The Sabres can send their development team (person) to visit all 4 on one single trip. Saves time and money.

It's economical, efficient, and, dadgummit, a darned good idea.

Well, three of the four. One is headed to the USHL next season.

Obviously Power, But Rosen could turn out to be really good.

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

I want to be wrong, but this feels like 2013 to me.

 

[Sabre the Win]

For how sticky this forum is about getting names right or proper spelling, I love how OP spelled it Powers... its like a slow burn watching everyone slowly melt over it.

Owen Power

Post of the year candidate. Definitely post of the post-draft winner!

Sabres scouting staff reportedly now aggressively searching for a right-D named "Drevil".

Funniest and best post today. Had me laughing to myself.

Reminded me of when Bob Sauve was traded to Chicago. He was alwasy congenial, so the Buffalo reporters/broadcasters would always interview him at the old Chicago stadium, or when he returned to the Aud. Being French Canadian, he referred to both teams in the French plural form, "the Sabre" and "the Black Hawk".

Hell, They'll already be able to see Power, Portillo, and Beecher in a single trip. They should have traded up to grab another Wolverine - Beniers, Johnson, etc., or traded for Bordeleau or Brisson.

Edit: Anyone know anything about UofM's Michael Pastujov? I thought I saw his name in the expansion draft thread. What's his trajectory?

When's the last time we had Russians on the roster? Hoping it becomes a thing.

So - yes, the Russians are my favorite pick because it makes sense tapping into that pool of talent again.

Rosen’s play style looks like a f***ing Pastrnak and Pettersson hybrid

 

[Kublakhan]

what ever one weighed more than 160lbs, was there even one??

A lot of them

Power - 214
Poltapov - 174
Bloom - 183
Nadeau - 205
von Barnekow - 190
Novikov - 207
Kozak - 161

I read somewhere that the Sabres think Rosen can get to 6'0 185. If he does, he could be a monster

His father, Roger Rosen, played professional hockey in the SHL for 17 years. He was listed at 6’0” 198lbs.

That doesn’t mean that his son will reach that measurable, but genetics do play a part. I found it funny looking at the Power celebration. His father doesn’t appear to be that tall and athletic so perhaps the athletic ability comes from his mother’s side.

Adams talked about projecting kids into the future. I’m sure looking into their parents genetic traits is part of the process.

 

[Ehran]

Hasn't Tage Thompson gained like 2 inches in height since he joined the Sabres?

Forton talked about Rosen's genetics and how they expect that he will be able to grow a little bit more and how that was part of their decision making process when evaluating him.

That's to say if he really is the father.
Maybe Jerry Springer can look into it.

Poltupov

Sounds funny in Russian this typo.
