unlocked scouting report 

"I don’t believe he will develop into a gritty, physical power forward like Matthew and Brady Tkachuk. While he certainly has the potential to be as skilled as they are, I just don’t see the same relentless pursuit of loose pucks, the eagerness to throw big hits in open ice, or the constant engagement in play."

I want everyone to read this. It's not only me or this person, other scouts say it too.

Does McQueen play up to his 6’5” or is he more like Tage (a gangly wimp). 

I've seen him compared to Byfield a bit. He's physical but not a Tkachuk for sure. @LGR4GM is correct on that.

If they passed on Misa in that spot there’d be riots 

Does 3 people on a message board count as a riot? Your masses have no idea who any of these guys are.

It would be a pretty egregious miss to anyone who follows the draft, from what I hear. Misa seems a special F talent relative to the others. But as for the size of the group that cares, in Buffalo, in might very well be small

Are there any high goalies worth being considered... current Sabres are underwhelming.

Even if there is, goalie prospects take 4-7 years.

And yet he’s not going first. So there’s a couple egregious misses right there I guess.
