Pronman lists his top 194 players 23 and under in and out of the NHL.  In theory each team should average 6-7 players on this list (194/32), we have 11 on the list.  

Sabres

4. Dahlin (behind Makar, A Svechnikov and Pettersson)  Lefreniere is 6th

9. Power - I'm surprised he is ranked this high

15. Cozens - Zegras is 12 and Dach 13

43. Mitts 

114.  JJP

117. Ryan Johnson

135. Jokiharju

137. Quinn (way to low IMHO) Perfetti 39, Jarvis is 41, Rossi 75

175. Rosen - Lucius 61, Svechkov 142

176. Poltapov - Raty 107

194. Levi

He seems to have lumped most of the goalies at the bottom of the list.  Also I'm surprised that Kisakov isn't on the list.  He projects similar to Poltapov IMHO.  Also Quinn being that far below Jarvis and Rossi surprised me a little.  They should be ahead, but Quinn has a similar upside to JJP, although I also like JJP more.

Somewhat surprised by this chart, though I probably shouldn't have been.

The Sabres 2nd in the NHL in games played by 1st-round picks since 2012 with 1877. They have more than twice the number of 12 other teams.

They also lead the league in 1st-round picks over that stretch, with 14.

Sabres have employed 3 of the top 5 German scorers in NHL history and 5 of 10 overall.

Jochen Hecht, Christian Ehrhoff and Uwe Krupp were top 5.

Tobias Rieder and Dominik Kahun round out the top 10. 

I'm taking this as a sign that JJ will end up #1 on this list.

Any other guys, like Power, Rosen, Johnson, etc?

Paywall.

They have not done the top 25 but in the 26-100 range, no. 

This board overrates Ryan Johnson. He's a 3rd pairing defender most likely if he makes the NHL. If I were trading with the Ducks, Ryan Johnson is the exact player I would use as a sweetner.

Would not have pegged Krupp that high.

How do we feel about this kid? Not much talk about him but those two goals were very nice!

Why not Buffalo? Why can't the Sabres hit on a late round gem who develops out of nowhere into a championship caliber player?

Leon Draisaitl will probably end up as all time top German but JJP has a shot at top Sabre for sure.

Anaheim?  The team that apparently is not willing to give up Zegras, Drysdale, or McTavish (who used to be known as 3OA) for Eichel.  If that's true then sending them Ryan Johnson won't help much.
