Luke Osburn is probably our best LHD prospect and might be our best D prospect outside of Mrtka. I think he makes team USA. 

I remember a few online prospect guys who were really high on Osborn when the Sabres drafted him and really sung his praises

Johnson would likely be in group 1 or 2...he played quite a few games for the Sabres and looked decent most times.

Someone they had on WGR talking hockey described Rosen as a "tweener". A player too good for the AHL but not good enough for the NHL.

Mark Mancari 2.0

I mean career trajectory, probably but these two couldn’t be much more different.  Mancari reminded me of a guy who’d slam 15 beers at night choke down a bunch of heaters and be back at it at the rink the next day as he had some sweet mitts with no foot speed. 
 

Rosen has all the tools but is probably not quite good enough to be an NHLer.

Wow Rosen written off already. The guy needs a legit chance on an NHL roster. If it’s not here trade him somewhere where he gets a shot

Yeah, I’ll give him this coming year. He really needs to pull together and soon.

underrated, for sure.  he's got all the tools.  fast, good shot, decent passer, alright on the powerplay.  if i remember correctly, i think the amerks were even using him on the penalty kill as well.  played well in the playoffs and seems to do pretty good when it matters the most.  he's had a lot of game winning goals over the last 2 years.  bunch of injury prone forwards, maybe he gets a real shot this year?  him and/or Östlund will definitely be the first forward call ups
