You can easily pair him with Dahlin or Power. Kid has some Makar like skating traits. I think they could find a place for him. Is it life or death that the Sabres draft him, no, but if he is available and they think he is BPA then I would be happy with the pick.

Is it life or death that the Sabres draft him, no, but if he is available and they think he is BPA then I would be happy with the pick. I’ve thought about this one a lot. I don’t really see a need for his skillset but if he is the best player on their board they have to take him. Perhaps his offensive game ends up better than Power’s. Maybe his defensive game becomes good and the kid turns into Ryan Ellis. He could end up a slightly better Joki. Those are all positive outcomes and if he isn’t a fit then he can be moved later for something that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted May 8, 2023 Report Share Posted May 8, 2023 I'm pretty sure the best players available at 13 will be forwards. If that's the case, take one. There will be better prospects than Sandin-Pelikka available 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said he has some Makar like skating traits. His skating is elite. A lot of comparisons have been made to Barrie. At the under 18s Button compared him to Karlsson in play style. I’m not pounding the table for him I just think if they end up taking him I’d be happy with the pick but there are going to be about a half dozen guys at 13 I’d be happy with.
