Zamboni Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 As anyone with eyes could see, for the 7th round, the Buffalo Sabres did no worse, and no better than the vast vast majority of teams. So they didn’t “under perform” or "over perform" compared to almost every team. Who’s had NHL time? So i took a 10 year sample. From 2007 - 2016. In my opinion it’s too soon to judge anyone drafted in the 6th round in 2017 or more recently to determine if a team drafted well in the 6th. If you disagree, then post the more recent years if you want. I added the Buffalo picks (if there are any) just to see the names. And yes, i am well aware that this round is pretty much a crap shoot, but i think there’s no harm in giving a little credit to the teams. 2007 Draft Pick number/Drafting Team/Player/Position/NHL games

Hawerchuk Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 (edited) Can’t believe Sabres missed Mark Stone by 5 picks in 2010! Man, he would have been dynamite if he went to Buffalo.

Pimlach Posted November 27, 2020 Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) Well we drafted Ullmark in 2012. Drafted Paul Byron in 2007. In 2011 we included him in a trade to Calgary (with Chris Butler) for Robyn Regehr, Ales Kotalik and Calgary's 2nd round pick (Jake McCabe) in 2012 NHL Draft. Bryon best years came even later with Montreal. So we drafted 2 legit NHL players. I guess you can say we partially developed Byron.

PerreaultForever Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Doesn't look like anybody did particularly well. Stone's obviously the golden pick. A few goalies, including Ullmark, so maybe 6th is the round to always draft a long shot development goalie as your best shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamboni Posted November 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) To me, it looks like no team did exceptionally well IF you are the kind of fan that expects teams to hit on 50% or more of 6th round picks. I believe in this round, if you can get one or two decent NHLers in a ten year span. A player who has a long (over 500 games) career... you drafted fair in the 6th. So, the Sabres didn’t do any worse or better than the vast majority of the other teams. Just like the 7th round was in the same 10 year span.
