‘Buffalo holds an impressive pool of young talent, inclduing Jiri Kulich (2022, No. 28), Matt Savoie (2022, No. 9), Noah Ostlund (2022, No. 16) and Isak Rosen (2021, No. 14), defensemen Ryan Johnson (2019, No. 31) and goalies Devon Levi (trade, Florida Panthers) and Topias Leinonen (2022, No. 41). Add that to the star-level talent within the forwards and a blue line consisting of three first-round picks, Rasmus Dahlin, Owen Power and Bowen Byram, Buffalo can go any way in the first round and take the best player available.’
