dudacek Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 I'd guess he's there type. College bound kid who skates well. Was just going to post this. Centre who easily transitions to wing. High tempo game. Ranked a little lower, but I’ve seen his name connected to Buffalo enough that I’m almost expecting him to be our pick at 32.

Derrico Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Boqvist has been ranked criminally low. If he drops out of the top 6 some team is going to be very very lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 (edited) Can we draft Bulat Shafigullin? I really just want to hear Razor pronounce his name. On a side note, Sampo Ranta could also be a target for Buffalo in this draft. He is lw with good skating and size. Ranta is also NCAA bound putting him in that Botterill wheelhouse. I would say that for me he would be a mid or late 2nd round type player. If we had a 3rd round pick and he slid to the top of the 3rd that would be perfect. Sadly we do not but he is an interesting prospect to watch. Edited June 6, 2018 by Skurk Liger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brawndo Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 The Sabres did interview Sampo Ranta, he felt it went well. Has all the tools the Sabres are looking for, his hockey IQ does get called into question, however a year or two with Tony Granato should help that.

GASabresIUFAN Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 I just worry about him at 32. At say 45, yes. Ranta has only come up in the top 31 one of 15 rankings I follow. This usually means that he’ll be a mid to late second rd pick, but could even fall into the 3rd. If the Sabres want him they can find away to get him by trading guys like Girgensons and Larsson to get extra picks and then package those picks to move back into the second.

TrueBlueGED Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 Boqvist has been ranked criminally low. If he drops out of the top 6 some team is going to be very very lucky. I agree. Seems like he's getting the Liljegren treatment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ho-Chi-Sock Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 A Drury and an O'reilly? Can yo imagine the irrational exhuberance? Buffalo loves its nostalgia. I'm sure there'd be a subsection who would welcome draft pick Aaron Maybin Jr. with open arms. Regardless with what happens with ROR, if I drafted this O'Reilly kid from Wisconsin, I'd force him to wear #90 in Rochester/Cincinnati just to prove a point.

Denisenko is my second favorite player in this draft. I think this is a pipe dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTS Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Look.. I'm pretty easy going. But a player named Jett Woo? It's either going to be the perfect match or perfectly obnoxious for him to land in a city where they do the Ric Flair after a goal right? I'm not sure which side I land on... I think obnoxious.

Ducky Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 Dahlin should help Eichel get 90 or more points this upcoming year. TSN said he was the best D prospect since Denis Potvin...that's pretty high praise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there the defender at #32 id be interested in is K'Andre Miller. He is very raw but a lot of talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
