Kleber the goblin cleaver

They got a 3c. They drafted Helenius... *ducks again*

I'd call this a bunt for now.

I can answer that. Height.

So I didn't pay any attention to goalies this year but this guy was EPs #1. I find that interesting.

Sabres average height 6'1" and average weight is 187 for this draft class.

Don't be a short defender

Said they initiated the process this morning. Jeff Skinner is gone.

I got him at 6'2" 179lbs Anyways was ranked 55 by ep and his consolidated was 82nd so nice pickup at 219.

Buffalo could do far worse in round 7 than this dude

He's a 20yr old overager with meh ncaa stats. He might want to be on Rochester some day.

Buffalo has all the defenders. 4 defenders with 6 picks so far this draft. In 2025, they'll need to think more about forwards to help balance the pool but that's a long way off.

From Hamburg and former Jr Sabre

Until Kiviharju was drafted not a single player under 5'10" was picked.

Would you consider him? Asking for your opinion.

Wahlberg and Mediema up front Strbak and McCarthy on the back end All 6'3" or bigger

Was Helenius?

... there's a very real world where Helenius, beats Krebs in camp. It's a long shot but not impossible.

Oh very much so. 20yr old Komarov was their #1 defender.

Welcome. Remember I don't know everything and to always make your own evaluation. If you look at a draft value curve so ranking all the picks from 1 to 218 or whatever, as you near the end of round 3 the curve basically goes flat. It's why I don't understand gms worried about adding a 4th to a trade to get it done, it doesn't matter in 85 out of 100 trades. There's only ever about 50-60 nhl players in a draft.

Scouting reports all say yes physical. Good skater that uses his body and stick to end plays.
