Randall Flagg Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 Where is he going Loved me some ulf Certainly not now, but I'm not expecting Marco to retire here at 36 either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 This is a damn good pick! Saw the perfect hat for you yesterday. Blue hat with two crossed swords among three gold Sweden crowns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 I don't think it's a given we re-sign Scandella when his current contract is up. Dahlin Guhle, McCabe, Pilut, Samuelsson and Hickey sure make it seem like they are preparing for life without him, don’t they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunkard Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 Dahlin Guhle, McCabe, Pilut, Samuelsson and Hickey sure make it seem like they are preparing for life without him, don’t they? Now they need to build up the right side. Feels like Ristolainen and then a buch of tumbleweeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorny Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 Now they need to build up the right side. Feels like Ristolainen and then a buch of tumbleweeds. Don’t worry we have Bogosian slotted next after Risto! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 Here’s as simple of an analysis as possible. If they hit on this pick, defensive depth very quickly becomes an organizational strength. A big of, but please let this happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 Kjell played I think 14 years in the NHL, and his brother Ulf (Mattias' uncle), also had a long NHL career, peppered with a bunch of nasty stickwork and other dirty play that made him widely disliked by both opponents and opposing fans. Man, a Kjell and Ulf bloodline ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 (edited) Samuelsson just got love from NHL Network as the guy that dropped to the second that could make an impact. The money quote: the guy in the USDP that his teammates most want to play with. Kid is a leader. Edited June 23, 2018 by dudacek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 Im very excited after reading this, yeah buddy!!!!! https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/prospect-interest-411-mattias-samuelsson/ ...he plays with good control and is known for being well-positioned. “Defensively he stands out,” says NHL Central Scouting director Dan Marr. “He understands the role. He plays within his means. He moves well for his size, he doesn’t over-handle the puck... His 1-on-1 game, he makes sure he handles his checks. On the defensive side of the puck he’s responsible with it.” So it looks like we drafted Denis Potvin *and* Nick Lidstrom in the same draft?

If they hit on this pick, defensive depth very quickly becomes an organizational strength. A big of, but please let this happen. It's funny how the organizational pendulum swings. We could easily go from having a pipeline with no defensemen to one with no forwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 It's funny how the organizational pendulum swings. We could easily go from having a pipeline with no defensemen to one with no forwards. Really hoping that next season when the Sabres are drafting early 20's that they finally get back to BPA & don't overemphasize a single position. Also really want either a 5th or one of the 6ths to be spent on a goalie. They should draft 1 late every single year. And should occassionally grab one in the 3rd if somebody they really like the look of is there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrico Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 So baker has him ranked 20th overall. Baker also had mitts ranked super high last year. The more I read, the more I like this pick. I'm done with dressing guys like faulk and fedun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GASabresIUFAN Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 (edited) By the way Kjell and Ulf Samuelsson are not brothers or related. However their kids Mat, now a Sabre, and Adam were D partners w the USNTDP just like their Dads were on Pit.

Gatorman0519 Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 I love the way Jbot is building depth. This was not going to be fixed in two drafts. I suspect another couple drafts and the organization will be set for becoming a long term contender for the next decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huckleberry Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 I have no real opinion on the pick other than that it appears that we're trying to make this team feel like home for our Swedes. Buffalo may need to step its restaurant game up. Nah, now if you had drafted 5 belgians, then you would have to level up. Bars to :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 And the great Casey Nelson. I like nelson over bogo more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
