#31 overall - Brendan Lemieux

[CallawaySabres]

I freaking LOVE this kid already. The TSN video was great and there is no doubt in my mind that this will not be your typical grudge palyers say they have when being passed up by other teams.

Bring back Steve Ott to 1) lead the team and 2) mentor Brendan.....the kid has intelligence and passion, just needs a little focus that Ott can provide! Tim Murray has already reached out to ott's agent...would be the seeds for the next 3-5 years

I don't think Lemieux plays for the Sabres until 2016-2017.

Valid point....I'm thinking he'd be up by the end of next year. I'd probably see Ott as a 3-4 year player, centering 3rd-4th line and special teams

Love him already , going to make every team pay for passing on him in first round :D

Didn't Grigorenko say something similar when he was drafted? We're waiting.

 

Eh, close: “Eleven teams didn’t draft me so too bad for them. I’m No. 1 pick for Buffalo Sabres.”
