What is this haha.

Mantha please? :) several smart choices here though

There are a lot of great players available. This really is a deep draft

I would love to get mantha

Wow some of you are ridiculous. Everyone whining we didn't do anything, or that this is anti-climatic should get a grup. We have the #8 pick and #16 pick and are going to get two great prospects. If that isn't fun or exciting to you then you shouldn't be watching the draft.

haha it is time (well soon....)

Yea I updated the list with nationalities, and the only real prospect we have who would be eligible would be our 3rd round draft pick last yea, Justin Kea who actually had a good year last year in the OHL

It was indeed. That was about as good as it gets. Aggressive and beyond physical with a 1 goal lead at the end of the 3rd. Wow

I don't get it either, I thought we would see him last year and I think he has earned his shot. I don't understand why they don't view him better, but it just seems they don't. I certainly think he is better than a handful of the prospects in our system, but yea

The reason I didn't include him was I think the organization made it clear what they thought of him by repeatedly choosing other prospects to get a chance to play in the NHL over him. I think the signing of ruhwedel was the writing on the wall. Plus he is now 25 years old

I edited the definition a bit better because you're right Luke Adam did meet the requirements. But so did any ahl player. The reason I didn't include Adam or BIega is because it looks like the sabres no longer see them having NHL potential. But what does everyone else think? Do you think Luke Adam is a prospect in the sense that we think his expected ceiling is at the NHL level? Does he get one more year having "prospect status"? I think Tropp or Flynn can become 4th line contributors. And I agree on Scheistel and crawford for the most part, but I'm giving them one more year to prove anything

Apostrophe?

Updated with size...size matters

Yea I am really excited to see who we add to our prospect pool. Putting this ranking together got me pretty optimistic as we have some good future talent. The sabres prospect's were recently rated 8 out of 30 by http://www.hockeysfuture.com/ Also if you notice a lot of our guys at the top of the list have size

Final 2013-2014 Rankings Prospect Information Updated 5/1/2014 Prospect - A player under 25 who has not yet acquired a permanent spot at the NHL level and who's expected ceiling is at the NHL level. Once a player has played a full season at the NHL level, and is not expected to have to earn a spot in the following year, then they are no longer a prospect.

Nah I heard he was the one who gave lindy the idea to get violent with the youngins

haha I concur

we could get a lot more than that for those three....

Kassian? :flirt:

I was told to bet 16 & 17........ That is my very little ignorant post contribution :)

That's kind of my point. He is a borderline 2nd line player, but he is performing like a 4th liner this year

haha my thoughts exactly. I'm only on this forum 30-45 minutes a day at work... Good luck all

Sample size my good friend
