He won't need to be the main rush threat when paired with Power or Dahlin but he's nasty in the defensive zone. At what point in the draft are you looking at these guys? If Sabres are drafting 3-6 are you taking these guys over the forwards in that range? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice quite often he’s MIA from all 3 levels of Omskie. I’m thinking he’s had a few injuries this season but it’s just a guess played in 10 of 39 VHL games and 15 of 32 MHL games Edited January 12, 2022 by Crusader1969 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like 80 names on Craig's List for January. Logan Cooley is #2 and Matthew Savoie is #8 which I find interesting. Cooley has been growing on me but idk if I would put him at 2 yet. Really hope Jiricek is able to get back before seasons end to play a bit more, not sure when the Czechia league year ends but it would have to go into April.

Flashsabre Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 I wonder how much pressure there will be to have the WJCs continue this year before the draft. It would be very unique to see these kids at the end of the year, right before the draft all competing against each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The year 2089, global warming means only in the far north of Canada and Siberia is ice hockey played anymore, CSS releases their rankings of the only 20 kids worth drafting, still split it up by NA and INT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 With that said, I am really coming around on Logan Cooley, there really isn't anything to dislike about him other than he isn't 6'4" but hopefully there is a combine to get a real height and weight. I could see him playing C or wing if needed but think C really suits him. Jiricek, Nemec, and Slafskovsky are 3 other players I genuinely like (Wright too but I assume we don't get him) 1 minute ago, Thorny said: If we keep the 5 "D"s of drafting in mind I'm sure we'll be ok lol, I am trying to think of what those will be but I can only envision Patches saying dodge duck dip dive and dodge 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusader1969 Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 All things being equal, I now believe RHD is a bigger organizational need than C I could see the argument that the biggest need is 1C. But In this draft, you aren’t going to improve much over what they already have. there definitely isn’t a eichel / Matthews level guy in this years draft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least in terms of raw offensive ceiling relative to the Cs we have. As for the others in range, I suppose the idea is more so, the more reasonably-likely 2Cs you acquire, the more you improve your odds one emerges as a 1C. Making the bet safer and all that. RD too though. I'm totally good with a RD being the pick. There just really should be one of each within the 3 1sts combined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going off Craig’s list and hoping one of the panthers or Knights go out in round 1 My way too early mock for the Sabres 1) David Jiricek 2) Brad Lambert (need him to continue to struggle to put up point with JYP) 3) Filip Mesar 4) Glen Trikozov (continue drafting Russians in rd 2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m really starting to wonder, with Wright, how much offensive upside there actually is. im not sure there’s any more than what there is for Cozens or Krebs but I’m when I’m talking about this years draft options - I’m assuming the Sabres don’t get lucky with the ping pong balls once again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost hope Jiricek doesn't play again this year & either Vegas or the Swamp Cats have a 1st round exit & somehow he slides all the way to the mid-teens and is sitting there when that pick comes up. The concept of Jiricek is intriguing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite thing has been watching the post wjc flailing. Also this ranking reminds me of why anchoring is worth discussing. The concept that your first ranking is where players stick and psychologically you justify not moving them. Miroshnichenko, Lambert, are two players that fall into this. Most scouts will tell you Miroshnichenko is not currently the best Russian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabresparaavida Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Thoughts on a draft scenario that looks like this? We take Cooley with our first pick, and then move both firsts and Ryan Johnson (assuming he doesn’t sign after the college season) to move back into the top 8ish and pick one of Nemec/Jiriceck. Not sure if that value is right, but will this team be better with a Cozens level talent and 2 Asplund level talents or 2 Cozens level talents? Just a thought. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
