Speed again?

Same.

 

Don't think anyone has even metioned him on SS before now.

[GASabresIUFAN]

Nice player. Lousy pick. He was a 40ish prospect on most lists. We need scoring and D and Robertson went 2 pick later.

From what they said on NHLN, seems like it.

[LGR4GM]

I think at #37 it was a touch high. This pick just doesn't excite me right now. 

[Thorner]

All the centres!

[LGR4GM]

Yup. Roughly 40-48 from what i just saw.

#37 overall is 40-ish.

 

Sounds a lot like Asplund from the first things I'm reading.

When were they supposed to take him?

[Brawndo]

The run on defense at the end of the first as Timmons and Hague going early let them to this.

 

But with the lack of LW Depth would Jason Robertson been a better pick?

Unless they project Davidsson out to a LW but yes I think so.

Would have liked a D man.

Stats from Bill Hope

 

Marcus Davidsson is 6-feet, 192 pounds and had five goals and nine points in 45 games last season w/Djurgårdens of the SHL. #Sabres

[woods-racer]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the Sabres draft the fastest D available with their next pick.

[LGR4GM]

You'll get one at 54. There will be a list of them there I think. Guys that have top 4 potential. 

[Norcal]

Well no D yet

He's listed at LW/C

[dudacek]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the Sabres draft the fastest D available with their next pick.

Even if the next Josh Gorges is available?

[GASabresIUFAN]

Rochester's Farrance?

[LGR4GM]

I personally think Westerlund at 37 would have been good. 

Well no D yet
He's listed at LW/C

So he plays in the SHL and as a young kid they aren't going to play him at center. So he may be a center or want to be but I would bet money he is playing more wing in the SHL at 17/18

Oof.

[Robviously]

Oof.

A 17 year old playing in the top league in Sweden.

[woods-racer]

Even if the next Josh Gorges is available?

I may still drag my stay at home hard nosed defense-men knucles on occasion, but... No.

 

I do believe we have spotted a JBott tendency.

[LGR4GM]

Oof.

He plays in the SHL. That is quite impressive actually.

To take the best player on his board regardless of position?
