what seperates Mittelstadt from Keller and Marner? both hit over 60 in their rookie seasons.

My over/under for Casey is 45. He will be on PP1 and spend time on Jacks wing, no reason he wont score at a reasonable clip.

If they get the first 31 correct, it will leave the Sabres a few good options at 32. Though, Noel would be an intriguing pick up. Big winger with a bit of nasty, mixed with speed and skill. Could be Tkachuk light?

and Jack with 28 & 29. uggghhhhh

https://www.tsn.ca/last-place-nhl-team-has-18-5-per-cent-shot-at-no-1-1.1039608 official lottery odds and confirmation of April 28th. Are Sabres play-off contenders next year IF 1) they get Dahlin? 2) Svechnikov or Zadina? 3) rest of the field?

wouldn't you get dimes on the Dollar if you tried to trade him now. Sabres biggest weakness is on wing now that they have Mittlestadt, I can't see them giving up on a talented winger when he just turned 20.

If Mittelstadt plays C then he is either going to slot into a 4th line role or move to wing. Though I could see him making ROR expendable in a couple of years.

USA today Mock draft: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nhl/columnist/allen/2018/03/26/nhl-mock-draft-first-round-projections-rasmus-dahlin/457770002/

27 points? I'll take the over

surprising that they will start Mittelstadt at centre. I'll guess that he will get Baptiste and Bailey as his wingers. Erod would then move to Jacks wing. Would love to see pommers find his way to the press box, I'm soooo done with him

Definitely Dahlin has been playing on the right side as a LHD. Not sure it means he will play on the right in the NHL or not. Hopefully the Sabres are the ones who have to make that decision.

There should be a couple of puck moving Dmen available at 32. Next steps, is to clinch a top 4 pick and then off to the lottery!

From Elliotte Friedman - Schuldr to decide if leaving school, MTL is interested.

Hughes sold me this past weekend, thought he had a great couple of games. Plus, wouldn't adding him be good Karma for next years Jack Hughes lottery?

I won't be unhappy with whomever they choose (unless they go way off the draft board). If Nylander wasnt a big "maybe" i could see drafting Tkachuk. I don't see Tkachuk helping the Sabres biggest need - skill and speed. I feel confident that Mittestadt will help make any of his wingers really good. Though, I can see him being on Jack's wing next season.

Now that Mitelstadt is in the fold, im even stronger in my conviction to draft either Boqvist or Hughes at 4.

i really really like Dobson but he doesn't skate like Hughes. Think Hughes skating is a dimension that the Sabres desperately lack at the moment. That still leaves Jack without any wingers but that can be solved when Mittelstadt leaves Minnesota. I should have added the Caveat, assume the pick isn't traded.

yes the Notre Dame goalie Cal Morris. And the Sabres can get all the help they can get!

At this point, its likely that the Sabres end up in last and draft 4th. (50.65%) Assume the draft goes as expected - Dahlin, Svechnikov and Zadina. Who do you take at 4? Im leaning Hughes at this time. PP Qb, Offensive Dman who may be the best skater in the draft. Still has much to work on in his own end but not many 18 year olds don't.

The "crown Jewel" of the UFA's is gone in Brickley, Borgen's D-Partner Schuldt should be next on the list.

Nolan Stevens signs with the team that drafted him - st.louis blues CJ Suess signs with Winnipeg

Love the fact we got Borgen to leave school early, still need a significant College UFA signing. Brickely is the grand prize but there are others.

his Twitter profile still say St.Cloud Uni. I agree it looks like good news but .... ok Confirmed now by news reporter in Fargo. Thank GOD for a sliver of good news for Sabres fans!

just wait for confimation. ST.Cloud Insiders arent exactly Bob Mckenzie Though better than the Buffalo News?
