Good news.

Is there a player in the system Sabrespace is more unanimously positive about?

Cozens, maybe?

Mitts 😎

[LGR4GM]

Wonder if he stays in Germany this year as he is signed there for 2 more seasons. Probably has an NHL out clause. 

[Randall Flagg]

I've watched him 3 or 4 times and he always looks like the best player on the ice 

[pi2000]

He's a nice prospect.   

His unrelenting motor is a force multiplier in every zone.  He's hard on every puck.  He's an eager, willing combatant in board battles.  He's violent, disruptive -- a real pain in the ass.   He'll make second and third efforts where other players generally relent.  He's rarely, if ever stationary, constantly scanning the ice when the puck isn't on his stick.

...sounds like a KA kinda player.     In my uninformed amateurish opinion, he should stay overseas one more season and my source smartly agrees.

I take this as a inside joke here .

Anyways 5 years from now ( Redraft) top 5

Either one more year in Europe, in the AHL or some combination of the two would be ideal. Unless he’s destroying  the AHL by February; I don’t want him in a Sabres jersey until at least 22-23

It’s no joke, his source really does agree.

Of course his source is his Beagle mix Daisy, and she’ll agree with anything for a treat, but still..........

Mitts, Cozens, Joki, Asplund, Thompson, Dahlin, Samuelsson, Bryson, Olofsson, Quinn and some additions if trades materialize that we expect this offseason. After this draft you can add Power or Beniers to the list. What this list demonstrates is that there is a young core to work with that offers some reasonable hope for the near future. Not all the listed players will be on the opening day Buffalo roster but all of them should soon be ready to play when given the opportunity. Needless to say the GM has to be deft this offseason and maximize the return on the expected departing assets. And if the goaltending is upgraded there will be fewer stairs to climb up to the next level of competitiveness.

Sorry I Had Too

We have a legitimate pipeline now, IMO.

[PerreaultForever]

I like him, but the title of this thread raises the bar quite a bit too far. He's nowhere near that.

I don't know who Byron Bader is but if he is ranking prospect pools and calls our goalies (UPL and Portillo) the 30th best group of prospect goalies then he knows nothing about hockey.

PS love JJP and was thrilled when he drafted him.  I believe he was the top player left on my consolidated list, had a mid 1st rd grade on my list and I read one scouting report at the time that said he was one of the most underrated players in the draft.

No mention of JJ Peterka, the underager that finished 5th overall in scoring at the U20's either. 🥱

Until UPL shows consistency, I think he's in the ballpark on our gt prospects. Portillo is going to change minds next year though.

I love it when I post stuff and it doesn't fit Sabres fans world view so it gets dismissed as wrong.

We're a ***** drafting team that also fails at development while also adding mostly overrated trash in free agency to fill out the roster. 

[Norcal]

I like the enthusiasm but hasn't Tim Stutzle been referred to as the German Pat Kane?

agreed....what have we done to get near the top of that list? If our prospects all pan out it will be a miracle...
