Taro T Posted June 27 Report Posted June 27 Wanted an actual current NHLer for the pick. But at least he's a guy @LGR4GM likes, so not a total loss. Plus, another C. 2 1 Quote
HoosierDaddy Posted June 27 Report Posted June 27 Maybe I’ll go to a game at Goggin next season and report back to you guys. Quote

ExWNYer Posted June 27 Report Posted June 27 I like the pick but how is this team getting better this year? I guess they'll be flipping prospects to bring in an established player? 3 6 Quote
Pimlach Posted June 27 Report Posted June 27 Big kid. Russian. Center. Preferred that we traded this pick for an nhl vet but you need a trade partner. Welcome aboard kid. 2 Quote
Flashsabre Posted June 27 Report Posted June 27 A trade would have been nice but you need two teams to trade and if nothing made sense make the pick. 1 1 Quote
LGR4GM Posted June 27 Report Posted June 27 "The motor was actually very good. Playmaking was not great, but the ideas often were. Morozov checks all the boxes: he's big, agile, pacy, rangy, physical, smart, and defensively sound. Skills may not be high enough to project him in a top-six creator role in the NHL, but he projects well as a middle-six, two-way centre. He might continue rising on our board, and it wouldn't be shocking to see him getting drafted around 12." Daniel Gee - Univ. of Denver vs. Miami Univ. (Ohio)NCAA · Mar 7th, 2026 1 2 Quote
shrader Posted June 27 Report Posted June 27 The prospects a year or two removed from their draft carry more value than today’s picks. The deals are still coming for this team. 3 1 Quote

Gatorman0519 Posted June 27 Report Posted June 27 Sabres look to be an even younger team next year unless a big trade happens. But the prospect system just got a major upgrade today. It is what it is. Quote

You know how Dawes for the Bills is so good blocking that we forgot he a TE and can catch passes? That's Morozov. 6 1 2 Quote
Long Suffering Fan Posted June 27 Report Posted June 27 I actually turned on the draft to learn about our pick because I don't know about any prospects past the first few. Instead I got to see the Leaf's pick being interviewed. The guy was drafted hours ago. They might as well have gone to commercial. 2 1 Quote
DarthEbriate Posted June 27 Report Posted June 27 Not exactly the biggest surprise ever. That was Daxon. (D'xon. The Dragonrider.) Until I see otherwise I basically just think this is Zemgus 2.0 which isn't a bad late-1st selection. Quote

ExWNYer Posted June 27 Report Posted June 27 Leave it to the NHL to have their McKenna interview in his Loafs cap and sweater right in the middle of the Sabres pick. 🤬 3 3 2 Quote
GASabresIUFAN Posted June 27 Report Posted June 27 I love this pick. He was a guy I hoped would fall to us at 27. He was the youngest player in D1 and got better as the season progressed on a bad Miami team. He’ll be a good NHLer. 7 Quote
