LGR4GM Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 So basically, the lottery winners get rookie nhlers next season, likely the rest get prospects?Yes the top 3 should jump. The rest? Still to early to tell. The 2018 Draft is loaded though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Buffalo Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 So if the Sabres finish near bottom do they go offense or D? Say Tkacuck or one of the top D... How many picks in top 3 rounds do Sabres have? Being lazy, Any trades make a D more likey, and find skilled scorers later on? Depressing I am even posting this :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though if you have a forward and Dmen ranked equally - I'd go D To have a chance at Tkachuk, I think you are going to have to get lucky with the lottery balls.

Huckleberry Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 We should change topic to Stallin' for dhalin. :unsure: 5 more games like this and I'm going in full tank mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusader1969 Posted October 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 no, i think its Dahlin followed by Svechnikov at this time. I've Seen Tkachuk as low as 7th on some lists but usually he is 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader1969 Posted October 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 (edited) Farabee and wahlstrom highlites from this past weekend. Both could go in top 10 Wahlstrom completes natural hat trick in the 3rd period and (today) is named USHL player of the week https://mobile.twitter.com/ushl/status/919360318806966274 Edited October 17, 2017 by Crusader1969 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader1969 Posted October 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 If Sabres want to corner the market on all players named Rasmus - Rasmus Sandin (potential 2nd rounder) transfers to OHL from SHL https://twitter.com/eliteprospects/status/920337797243920384 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokey Jones Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 I'm not really farmiliar with the prospects, but would Dahlin be ready year one? Probably. You'd want to protect him a little, but this guy will dominate. Think Karlsson in Ottawa as the closest comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3putt Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) Probably. You'd want to protect him a little, but this guy will dominate. Think Karlsson in Ottawa as the closest comparison. Actually all scouting reports say he is less Karlson and more Hedman or Lidstrom in style. Either way all say he will be a star.

Pokey Jones Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 I meant more in the way he can control/dominate a hockey game, not exactly skating/playing style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need the physical PF who can skate, especially if we let Kane walk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
