Besides the big five (Reinhart, Jack, Risto, McCabe and Pysyk) what prospect are you pulling for the most?
- BuffaloKyle

Baptiste

It was more.of question about who you like and who you're pulling for.
Every fan has a guy they always wanted to be good.
Like a few year back I really wanted Mike Ryan to succeed.
Now I'm.pulling for a guy like Brady Austin and Kea.
And I always wanted Sundher to be good. You always have those guys that you root for.
- BuffaloKyle

Then I guess I'd say Catenacci
I think he could end up being a nice 4th line guy for us
Reminds me of Darren Helm

Just to play devils advocate here... In case we don't end up with Oduya

Baker is pretty high on him. I really liked him during the world juniors but that was a while ago.
- Sabresfan-365

He's great around the net
And looks good against guys his age...
But his skating is NOWHERE near NHL quality
He's got a lot of work to do
There's no rush for us to get him here though, so he's got time
He's got the size & skill to be a net presence, so I'm hoping the Sabres hire a skating coach to work with him

at least nobody associated will a Buffalo sports team was reportedly arrested on Tuesday

Disagree Catenacci looked great in my opinion. Skilled and fast
- bluengold12

he needs to translate the skills to dominate the AHL this year

I think he's a decent prospect. I'd be surprised to see anything special from him though.

Baker was pretty high on a couple other duds in the last few years as well
- sbroads24

Hated that trade when it happened, although I was higher on McNabb than most

Our future at forward looks pretty strong though
Top3 centers... Eichel, O'Reilly, Reinhart/Girgensons
Top6 wingers... Kane, Ennis, Reinhart/Girgensons

So that means we need one top6 winger & two 3rd line wingers out of...
Larsson, Foligno, Bailey, Baptiste, Carrier, Rodrigues, Possler, Olofsson, Fasching, Karabacek, Cornel, Hurley

Prett good odds for us I think

Left side defense & Goalie still a concern though

upper end d prospects are very thin

I think we are ok in net, once the prospects have another 2 years to develop

he needs to translate the skills to dominate the AHL this year
- homiedclown

He made a nice step last year
Idk that he'll ever be a "scorer" in the NHL, so he's gotta improve his defensive game if he wants to get called up & get a shot

WTF

now French is leaving

I have ZERO confidence that I can tell who will & won't be a good goalie as far as prospects go
Thu all had rough years last year, at least in part
So I'm far from sold
Esp when guys like Markstrom do so well in the AHL but then suck when they get called up

Where to?

I think Makarov can play right now if in a pinch in the NHL

between Ullmark and Petersen I think we will be fine

no clue on Johansson

Good for him though

- jdfitz77

I think it was just a hobby for him

Possler
- homiedclown

I like Possler too

If you were to project a lineup for our forwards, 3 years from now...
So no Moulson, Gionta, etc...
What would it look like?
Basically, what youngsters do u see making it here?

I've seen good things from all of them,
But I've also seen wild inconsistencies as well
Same with Lehner
Can any of them be a Cup winning goalie?
I just don't know?
They all do have some potential though
