His injury makes Nemec the automatic top D off the board. I like him at 8 (where we certainly will draft. Finish 7th but get jumped in the lottery.) Quote

Nemec is the best defender in this class currently and I am not sure there is anyone to challenge him with Jiricek out. Quote
LGR4GM Posted February 4, 2022 Report Posted February 4, 2022 Speaking of defenders, he's very raw and would need a few more years in Europe and probably a full AHL season but you have exceedingly young RHD Salomonsson. 1 Quote

The top lottery teams are a void of RHD talent and it's likely at least one of them gets bumped down a spot or two. The Kraken barely have a system (and only Ottavainen as an RHD prospect). Arizona has Soderstrom and nothing else. Montreal needs to find their next Weber. Quote

Not saying that either of you are wrong, but in McKenzie’s mid season pole, NHL scouts had Jiricek at 7 and Nemec at 9. Quote
Buffalonill Posted February 4, 2022 Author Report Posted February 4, 2022 Buffalo needs to draft a center way 2 many question marks on the roster Quote

Cozens, Tage, Mitts, Krebs V Ott, Coho, and Ennis They don't seem comparable at all Quote
LGR4GM Posted February 4, 2022 Report Posted February 4, 2022 I'd also note that the Sabres could easily take centers later in the first if Nemec were available to them. Quote

And what are you calling a number 1 C? One of the best 32 C’s in the league? Edited February 4, 2022 by Curt Quote

You need good players everywhere, a generational player somewhere specifically is nice but far from necessary and even further from being guaranteed as a contender. 2 Quote
