Jake Livingstone

For the people that watch college hockey could he be a top 3 D for buffalo?

Or just an ahl guy

Best case scenario would be he becomes Power’s partner on the 2nd pair.

Most likely he will be a 3rd pairing NHL guy.

Will be a lot of teams interested in him so I wouldn’t get my hopes too high.

23 year old undrafted college players rarely make it beyond depth pro players although a few breakthrough.

Looking for a solid college FA to sign this off-season? 

Livingstone, I presume.

I know a couple of teams are interested. One thing we can offer him is ample opportunity to start! I’d def take a serious shot at him.

I have not seen this guy play, but, based on this thread, took a peek at his stats and they look good.  6'3", 205 lbs, 35 points and +10 in 39 games at the Divison 1 level.  Looks like pretty good numbers for a defenseman.  His stats have also improved from one season to the next in each of his 3 seasons in college at Minnesota State.

The Sabres have come a long way but they still don’t attract high end college free agents. Considering how rare it is they turn into anything, it’s not a major hurdle at this time.

With Johnson being 1-1/2 weeks away from making a decision, would've been very surprised to see the Sabres make a hard push for him and even more surprised to see them land him.  Now had Minnesota been eliminated this past weekend and Livinstone moving on to the Frozen Four, maybe.

He hasn’t given any indication he’s not signing. He’s only talked favorably about the organization and TBCH he’d be crazy not to sign with the organizations lack of defensive depth
