This is from draftin Europe who usually do a pretty good job. “03. NOAH OSTLUND - C, 5’10”, 164, 11-Mar-2004, Left Type of Player Quick, competitive and very skilled two-way centerman who makes his linemates better. Path to the Draft A Draftin Europe's big favorite since 2020, Östlund has not let down our high expectations since. He had to fight through different injuries during this year and one could argue he didn't take as much of a step forward as some of his peers, but finished his draft season in style with a strong showing at the U18s despite a sore shoulder (a carryover from the Swedish junior playoffs), leading his team to an unlikely Gold Medal. Strengths Östlund is a natural, he’s one of those players that have an instinctive and thorough understanding of the game. At 15 he was already showing on-ice awareness that most pros don't possess. It’s an easy trait to recognize, not only in his play with the puck, but also in his play without it. Noah uses his IQ and vision to be a consistent defensive factor despite limited size, displaying tremendous on-ice attitude and work rate. He is relentless in his efforts and that attitude is, in fact, what we feel really separates Östlund from other prospects. It's particularly rare to find a teenager who plays such a skillful game and at the same time possesses the will (and the cardio) to go after the puck time after time. The combination of that innate perseverance with his ability to read the play and his deft stick work allows him to take away many pucks from the opposition.

Now they need to swing for the fences at 28. Russians, Lambert, Howard , Hutson or Casey- if they want skill or size and nasty - Warren or Lamoureux?

Chesley, Rinzel and Casey ?

High floor

Safe pick could be Ostlund

You have to take Kemmel and LekkermAki over Yurov , right ?

100%. Thought he was the pick at 9

Quick but not straight line fast ?

Jesus. Could lekkermaki be there at 16???

Rossi was an analytical dream Savoie wouldn’t be. There are those that worry about his production at 5*5. He was lights on the PP

I have never heard of him having a concussion. definitely in the last 2 years I watched a lot of the ice early in the year , when it looked like Buffalo would be in the top 3 and he was a guy So getting him at 9 is pretty good

Lining up nice here at 16 Yurov or Bischel Dark horse Lambert

👍👍👍👍

Bob McKenzie knows all!

ummmm what draft picks ??

I think you’ve nailed it. just to be different I’ll say Savoie Yurov and Rinzel

That used to be the Bills too. Funny what winning can do. Not to worry, things will change soon for the Sabres

I like the Lutz pick. Maybe 2 times lucky taking a German in the 2nd round ?

So many have mocked him there there that it probably won’t happen. though I hope they do.

Craig Button just did his mock draft on TSN Sabres land Kasper, Yurov and McGroarty pretty good haul but need to get a Dman with the next pick

One can dream!! What’s above an A+ draft result ?? Cause this would be it

I’m more optimistic (or would that be pessimistic?) either way, I’m thinking there is a decent chance he could be available. We will find out in a week

Thought I beat you to it !! 😂😂😂im actually starting to believe Brawndo lives 1 minute in the future

Even better at 28. Will be fascinating to watch this draft

I’m thinking the odds of Gauthier at 9 is slim and Kasper at 16 is slimmer would love for it to fall this way though
