Crusader1969 Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 GMTM has really put an emphasis on athletes. I suppose with the idea if they have the raw material they can develop it With that in mind - watch for Jordan Kyrou of the Sarnia Sting in the second round for the Sabres. http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=269034 Currently ranked 34th by Central Scouting (North American Skaters). He finished first in the "on-ice" testing at the BMO CHL Prospects game. http://www.ontariohockeyleague.com/article/chl-s-top-prospects-excel-in-sport-testing-combine I've seen at least 10 Sting games this year (1 live) and he always seems to stand out. Scoring 4 goals last night for Team Canada in the World Under 18's doesn't hurt either. Wrong thread but fit well with last post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rakish Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 How many draft picks do we have this year in early rounds? You are in the wrong thread, that said, http://espn.go.com/nhl/story/_/id/14787151/picks-team-2016-nhl-draft The ESPN chart isn't very accurate, for instance it doesn't mention that the Anaheim 3rd round pick can become a second. Wikipedias page on the 2016 draft has all the horrible detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 How many draft picks do we have this year in early rounds? Sabres have three picks in the third round, plus an extra pick that will be in the second or third round depending on how far Anaheim goes with McGinn. There's also an extra pick in the fifth and in the seventh.

Actually, if it ends up being a second round pick from Anaheim, that will be in 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chychrun putting up a good showing is encouraging! And I love the inclusion of options for the second round and on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I love the inclusion of options for the second round and on! Truth be told, I'd really like to see him land in Buffalo, though if he falls all the way to 8, not sure I want them to get him. /Cooper / Grigorenko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkman Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Andrei Makarov thanks the Sabres Organization via Twitter. Looks like he is done with the Sabres Never consistent enough for North American pro hockey. Maybe he reappears after a few years in the K but I wouldn't put any money on it.

Doohickie Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 http://www.buffalohockeybeat.com/sabres-prospect-justin-bailey-thriving-with-amerks/ Nice write up on Bailey. Hate the mention/comparison of Luke Adams but I hope their paths now diverge Luke Adam's biggest drawback was that he came up during the tank years.

dudacek Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 (edited) Luke Adam's biggest drawback was that he came up during the tank years. And the way Lindy physically abused him...???? Edited April 19, 2016 by dudacek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norcal Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Nice write up on Austin from Amerks.com , it would be great if he develops on the farm, he's got ideal size and is an LD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogre Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Nice write up on Austin from Amerks.com , it would be great if he develops on the farm, he's got ideal size and is an LD. I read that same piece. I was happy for him when they gave him the A. I love watching these guys develop(or flop). That's one of the reasons I like AHL so much. I haven't seen many 7th rounders come as far in only two years as he has. I think he is as able to handle the NHL as Pysyk or McCabe. That doesn't mean I think he's ready. I think the key to the Sabres future lies in these developmental guys. Cheap to buy and cheap to keep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 I was shocked to see Hockey News had him in our top 10, but I haven't really seen him all year. Glad to hear you guys are seeing growth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
