Vancouver’s Thatcher Demko (No. 36), Detroit’s Alex Nedeljkovic (37-Carolina) and Washington’s Vitek Vanecek (39) all went in the second round, while the Sabres were frittering away picks on non-NHL forwards Eric Cornel and Vaclav Karabacek.

The fourth round saw St. Louis’ Ville Husso go at 94, Minnesota’s Kaapo Kahkonen at No. 109 and then Shesterkin.’
