Safe pick could be Ostlund 

 

 

Why do you think he was considered the safe pick?

[Thorner]

Sportsnet listed the NHL comparable (yes, I know) for both Savoie and Ostlund as Brayden Point

Whoopsie...click to enlarge.

Ostlund...

Maybe the Sabres think "undersized" is the key to success?

[IKnowPhysics]

Nashville is proud to select from the Quebec Nordiques Joseph Sakic.

Two centers. This dude knows his *****. Impatient as *****, but he knows his *****.

I'm doubling down...

This organization is proving that it's well centered.

[Cage]

Should they now try to trade-up from 28.... not sure how far they might move up w/ their 3rd?  3-4 slots??

[LabattBlue]

Is this the draft or end of year awards.  NHL is so messed up at times. 

[Mike in Horseheads]

A awards show in the middle of a draft?

Speaking for myself, his "floor" seems pretty high. Might not develop into a star, but seems to be a pretty safe bet to be a solid contributor.

I guess the hope is he will pack on a few pounds.

[Jävə Keith]

Trade up from 28 for Yurov or Lambert?

That’s weird. Then again ESPN showed a draft pick scoring into an empty net. So it’s been that kind of night.

and if anyone deserves a mid draft award here it’s @Thorny

Yeah, I'd say so. But there's time for that.

High floor 

[Jävə Keith]

Or go w/ a winger - Snuggerud jr ?

Can we get two first line centres out of:

Thompson, Cozens, Mittelstadt, Krebs, Savoie, and Ostlund? 

Surely we can get a 1 and 2 twos, right? The system is now screaming about the odds being in our favour

If Tage can repeat thats 1 then who knows

[LabattBlue]

Who are the top 3 RHD?

[The Jokeman]

Joe Sakic way too much Botox.

would love to see us get Chesley at 28 or trade up to get him.  RHD, nasty, very decent offensively. Think Samuelson with more offense, though he's 6'1" not 6'4"

So “some” offense.

[PromoTheRobot]

So MAF is off the market.

[Wyldnwoody44]

I wanted Oghren over Ostlund
