End all be all? No. Still, just feels like we're drafting the same we've been drafting for years. I don’t think Isak Rosen is reflective of other picks we’ve made recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be my thought. I think if Rosen played a full J20 his numbers would be similar to Eklund. Hard to say at thi point but Rosen is 20 lbs below even his SHL playing weight so he's got lots of work to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's something to be said for Adams taking 3 RWS with his last 3 meaningful forward selections My overall impression is meh. Rosen is a project with lots of skill. Power is a 2nd pairing defender. I think Buffalo does a bad job of getting high end guys but instead defaults to projects with talent and high floor guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerreaultForever Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Don't like this pick. Don't like it at all. He might not be horrible. He might even be good. Just not my type of player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthEbriate Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 He's a ppg U20 on team Sweden, so a top line guy. He needs to bulk up and fill out. Definitely a longer-term project. In 3 years, hopefully he suddenly appears as a 3RW who scores like a 2RW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of those classes where talent is a bit all over the place. I liked Lucius, Lysell, and even Svechkov over him. However, he has skill. He'll spend a season over seas. It's got a better game than Marcus Davidsson does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digger Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 I'm okay with the pick. Biggest criticism is that he needs to grow into his body. He's obviously a few years away and will develop in Sweden. Lots of skill and great skater and dynamic scorer, adding weight and strength is easy (but takes time). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDS Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 I think this is a guy Adams wanted all along. This fits his quote where he said he didn’t want someone necessarily ready for next year, but they would be the player they wanted in the future. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's obviously a few years away and will develop in Sweden. Lots of skill and great skater and dynamic scorer, adding weight and strength is easy (but takes time). I think this is the problem that many have. He may turn out great, but people are just sick and tired of always having to (and be told to) wait for the future. With the team seemingly on the verge of another rebuild with Eichel and Sam most likely on the way out, many want to see players that are more 'NHL ready' then a potential project we won't see on the roster for 3-4 years taken in the 1st. After every year hearing the same thing, more hype by fans and Buffalo media over the next great prospect they have thats just needs a few more years to develop, and then watching the previous ones come up and underwhelm, its going to cause many people to be disapointed seeing Rosens stats and getting drafted where he did...
