Curt Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 I’ve been noting it down each time it’s reported that the Sabres did or did not interview a particular player at the draft combine. I’m assuming that anyone who they chose not to interview, they are not interested in drafting, although I do understand that may not be 100% correct. Anyway, here is what I have seen reported. Sabres Interviewed: Ryan Lambert Filip Mesar Pavel Mintyukov Cutter Gauthier Frank Nazar Jack Devine Jimmy Snuggerud Sabres Did Not Interview: Joakim Kemell Seamus Casey Maverick Lamoureux Jack Hughes Denton Mateychuk Does anyone have any names to add to this?

Nemec and almost definitely Jiricek will be gone before #9 anyway. 1 minute ago, sabresparaavida said: Could be wrong, but I believe Jiriceck and Geekie were not there. Geekie was there.

After listening to the Expected Buffalo podcast, it seems that Marco Kasper, Lian Bichsel, and Noah Warren also interview with the Sabres.

PerreaultForever Posted June 7, 2022 Report Share Posted June 7, 2022 Regarding interviews, keep in mind they might not have interviewed guys they have already made their mind up on or have spoken to in a different setting already. The guys they interviewed here MIGHT be guys they are interested in, but might also be guys they aren't quite sure about and they want to add a little more info on. In other words, I wouldn't read anything into it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
