In another thread just yesterday there where draft discussion leading up to the picking of Sam then Jack and I was reviewing the previous years drafts by class(09-14). The 2010 and the 2011 draft classes back to back was some of the worst drafting in Sabres history. There were only 2 players from both those draft classes combined that made it to the NHL. 15 selections netted two NHL caliper players. I was shocked to see @Stads question later on that day. If I hadn't been looking at that draft just hours earlier I would never have even remembered him. It's not Nathan. Quote

He played one game for the Sabres in 2014-2015. Now let's name all of the 2011 draft picks Edited May 25, 2022 by Stads 1 Quote
Stads Posted May 25, 2022 Author Report Posted May 25, 2022 You already got Lieuwen. There are only 4 more players left (only one played games for us) Quote

Was Jerome Gauthier-Leduc a 2011? Quote
Stads Posted May 27, 2022 Author Report Posted May 27, 2022 Monsieur Gauthier-Leduc was 2010 . CJ is a center who played in parts of 4 seasons for Rochester. He is currently playing for Székesfehérvár Alba Volan of the Austrian Hockey League...if that helps. Quote

Now I feel bad... he was a T-Bird and I've seen him play back in the day. But even in EA NHL14 and the Sabres/Amerks lack of center depth I don't think his avatar got much playing time. 1 Quote

Stads Posted May 28, 2022 Author Report Posted May 28, 2022 The last member of the 2011 draft has the initials BN. If you know this, I am worried about you 1 Quote
Stads Posted May 28, 2022 Author Report Posted May 28, 2022 I am going to list ten names. Five of these names are actual Sabres' draft picks from 2006 to 2010. The other five are completely made up. Let's see who can get the most right. 1. Jean-Simon Allard 2. Cedrick Henley 3. Luc Beauchamp 4. Ivan Poltov 5. Felix Schutz 6. Adam Maynard 7. Benjamin Breault 8. David Parsons 9. Christian Blair 10. Mark Adams Quote

Brad Navin is from only 45 minutes from my hometown. Never amounted to much of anything in the Sabres org. But as a 7th that wasn’t a surprise. Quote

The game is who can name the most And the guess was that 1, 2, 8, 9, & 10 aren't real players. Not that you had chosen somewhere between 3-7 real players. (Though, kind of like Cliff Claven's "who are 3 people who have never been in my kitchen" that would be technically correct. 😉 ) Or are you also looking for the year they were drafted? Which would be a true challenge. Quote
Stads Posted May 29, 2022 Author Report Posted May 29, 2022 (edited) I don't need to know when they were drafted. That would be legendary though. Once they are some more guesses, I can announce a winner Edited May 29, 2022 by Stads Quote

In an EA NHL franchise mode I traded him and then he evolved him into a really good player for someone else. Super tall if I recall? 3. Luc Beauchamp 4. Ivan Poltov 5. Felix Schutz - real, and ended up with a very solid DEL career 6. Adam Maynard 7. Benjamin Breault - real. But I have the least confidence in this guy. I might be confusing with Maxime Legault who was another EA NHL guy who turned into an AHL stud/Amerks Captain for me. 8. David Parsons 9. Christian Blair 10. Mark Adams - real 2 Quote
