Then that's good enough for me. 

[Chevyvanmiller]

From the TCB draft guide.

[Digger]

Great pick at 28.  No complaints.

[Curt]

Big fan of this pick.

Man oh man the Sabres are just chasing skill.

Three C’s (potentially) with their three 1st round picks.

[TheAud]

Three Centers...I feel like this doesn't bode well for Mittelstadt being with the organization long term. 

[HumanSlinky39]

Three smallish guys bothers the part of me that desperately wants to see a more physical team, but can't really knock any of the picks individually. Three highly skilled guys and centers to boot.

Love it. That is a hell of a first round for the Sabres. 3 high end centres. 

[shrader]

Is he the one that (I think) Craig Button was absolutely glowing about on one of the wgr shows this morning?

These kids are years away and could be wingers. 
Heck, Mitts might go to wing

I really didn't expect Kulich to make it past the early 20s. Nice pickup.

[thewookie1]

Great value pick

[Flashsabre]

He was a leader and warrior at the U18s for Czechia.

[Thorner]

9 goals in 6 games at the Under 18 tournament probably really sold his case 

[Buffalonill]

Ok  I'll just pretend this was the 16th pick lol

So Kulich at 16 and Ostlund at 28?

[Richard Noggin]

Is an NHL team drafting Cs who can also kick outside analogous to an NFL team drafting OTs who can also kick inside?

Kulich has decent size.  almost 6' tall and 180 and play LW, a big organizational need

[thewookie1]

Both Savoie and Kulich play a bit tougher than their size

[GASabresIUFAN]

Love love love this pick.
