    Lots of people can think this is not a huge loss but it is.

     Buffalo took all the time and money to develop this player And they get nothing out of it but a 3rd round pick.

     And probably Buffalo didn't want to draft a certain defense in drafts because they thought Johnson was gonna be in the fold.

     This has ripple effects but people don't see that

    I can see your point.  I do think it's a loss, but not much we can do in this situation.  League sets this rule to let them walk.  Until the rule is change, can't lose sleep over it.  In my opinion, at this time, he's not ready for the NHL.  I've watched him all year.  I'm no scout, but he needs some development.  I think it would be a bigger loss if we rushed him in the NHL, and he busted.  Just my 2 cents.

  2. Yeah, not sure what the hold up is with him not signing yet.  Sign your deal, play with Rochester for the playoffs, earn your spot next year with a few open defensive spots on the roster (my opinion).  I think it's a really good position for any young player to enter the fold.  IMO, his loss if he moves on>  No sleep lost here.  Go Sabres!

    Here is some good news guys and gals.  According to the Athletic’s Corey Pronman “I’ve heard Ryan Johnson will probably sign with Buffalo too.”

    This article focuses on College and Euro FAs.  I’m still very interested in signing Jake Livingstone, a 6-3 RHD from Minn St.

    That would be amazing news.  Thanks for sharing.
