However Michkov is under contract to 2026, so you may have to wait a bit for him to get to the NHL. Lets really hope we are talking about the guys rated in the 20s or below by that draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When covid destroyed the year for those prospects it just doesn't make sense when all Scouts have been doing is watching videotapes thats it . And teams are shutting down left and right during the year It just annoying. Edited May 7, 2021 by Buffalonill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And teams are shutting down left and right during the year It just annoying. I agree. For anyone knows, this could be an excellent draft -- we just have scant evidence. The scouts are likely to miss a lot more good players and select more clunkers at the top of the draft. IMHO, the reason thus draft is considered "weak" is because there is not a broad, wide, or deep overall consensus about who slots where. More importantly for the bottom lines of the pundits and their employers, they can't get clicks second-guessing picks for months because nobody really knows what is going on. It won't be as simple criticising the Sabres for, say, taking Berniers over Eklund, Guenther, and Power. Heaven forfend that they will need to work on their articles analysing and reporting on player development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader1969 Posted May 8, 2021 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 The more I think about the Sabres roster , pipeline and the draft prospects the more I’m starting to lean towards Brandt Clarke as the pick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted May 8, 2021 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 At this moment it’s Power vs Beniers with a heavy lean towards Power for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashsabre Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 Power, Clarke, Beniers would make me happy. Eklund and Hughes would be “I guess” Edvinsson and Guenther would be “F$&k My Life” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do appreciate that he isn’t afraid to just put the guys where he thinks they should be. It’s boring when every list looks the same. I generally don’t like Button’s rankings though.

That said, I don't like his lists haha. Also Scouching says Power really needs another year in college if you really want to get the most from him. He also talks about another thing that we don't think enough about... being too big. At some point your size can be a hinderance. Chara is always the counter to this but he is the exception. Myers I think would be a better player if he were 3 inches shorter. I think Power can and will be exploited by shorter but more agile speedy forwards such as an Eklund type player. That isn't to say Power is not good, just something to consider, as I noted he has crept back into my top 5 as I have done more work on the draft.

Norcal Posted May 16, 2021 Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 This kid is scoring big goals in his team's championship series. Looks like most recent ranking is #44. Anyone like this guy as a prospect? Not necessarily a Sabre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 If we keep all of our picks, this draft will make or break this team. We just started to get a little momentum with our passed picks but this is the first time in years we have a full slate of picks to really start to add depth in our prospect pool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
