Sabres Top 20 Talents in 2016: No. 14 - C Zemgus Girgensons
'Girgensons is too good to play on the Sabres fourth line, but not good enough to play with the Sabres best forwards on a regular basis. It’s a tough position to be in. If Girgensons produces more offensively, and I think he will, then maybe he’ll get some time with players like Jack Eichel and Ryan O’Reilly on a more regular basis. I think Girgensons is closer to the player we … [Read more...] about Sabres Top 20 Talents in 2016: No. 14 – C Zemgus Girgensons

Sabres Top 20 Talents in 2016: No. 15 - D Brendan Guhle
'The jump to the National Hockey League for a 19-year-old defenseman might be a little unrealistic, but Guhle has talent.
