SABRES ANNOUNCE TICKET PRICES, ON-SALE DATES FOR 2017-18

Not that we really care what ESPN says. But here is the top 100 prospects from the insider. I'll only put the Sabres players in here.

http://www.espn.com/nhl/i...co-hischier-mathew-barzal

7. Alexander Nylander, RW, Buffalo Sabres
DOB: 3/02/98 | Ht: 6' 1" | Wt: 181
2016-17 stats, Rochester (AHL): 65 GP | 10 G | 18 A
Projected 2017-18 team: Rochester (AHL)

Nylander had an up-and-down season. He was great at the World Juniors versus his peers yet again. In the pro levels, he struggled to earn the trust of his coaching staff and was sheltered from tough situations, although he was still a top power-play option. His skill is fantastic, as he makes high-level plays seem routine and is quite creative. I wish he was a little quicker, and his off-the-puck game needs a lot of work, but his offensive upside is NHL top-six level.

10. Casey Mittelstadt, C, Buffalo Sabres
DOB: 11/22/98 | Ht: 6' 0.75" | Wt: 201
2016-17 stats, Eden Praire (HS MN): 25 GP | 21 G | 43 A
Projected 2017-18 team: Minnesota (Big Ten)

Mittelstadt has been a highly touted player for the past few years, and was a top player in the USHL this past season along with a stint with his high school team. Mittelstadt is a dynamic playmaker who can generate scoring chances in bunches. He can dangle in open ice with the best of them, and can make a highlight happen at any moment. Mittelstadt sees the ice well, often executing on high-difficulty feeds and being a primary starting point of offense. His skating isn't as dynamic as his hands, but he skates well and has a separation gear in his feet. He isn't as great off the puck; despite a strong frame, he loses more battles than he should. He is committed to the University of Minnesota.

98. Cliff Pu, RW, Buffalo Sabres
DOB: 6/03/98 | Ht: 6' 2" | Wt: 192
2016-17 stats, London (OHL): 63 GP | 35 G | 51 A
Projected 2017-18 team: London (OHL)

Cliff Pu came out of the gates flying this season but cooled down in the second half. All in all, he had an impressive breakout campaign for London, serving as their No. 1 center. He's a great skater with good puck skills and IQ. He doesn't make dominant offensive plays, but he puts the puck in good spots and can create chances from the perimeter. On top of that, he's a reliable defensive player and a shorthanded scoring threat.

100. Rasmus Asplund, C, Buffalo Sabres
DOB: 12/03/97 | Ht: 5' 11" | Wt: 183
2016-17 stats, Farjestad (SHL): 39 GP | 6 G | 13 A
Projected 2017-18 team: Farjestad (SHL)

Rasmus Asplund doesn't wow you on a given shift, but upon careful observation, you see a smart all-around forward who can make plays and be a positive difference-maker every shift. His best trait is his IQ, particularly his vision, as he can make quick reads on the power play. He's not exceptionally quick for a player his size, but he skates fine and competes well at both ends.

The rest:

Brendan Guhle, Buffalo Sabres

Goalies:

18. Ukko-Pekka Luukonen, Buffalo Sabres

Here is what they have as the top 10 per team. Again.. Buffalo only.

Team overview: The Sabres have picked in the top 10 for two straight drafts, bringing in a pair of quality prospects in Alexander Nylander and Casey Mittelstadt. Later picks like Cliff Pu, Rasmus Asplund and Brendan Guhle also had strong 2016-17 seasons. The system is a little thin after the top names, with their AHL affiliate lacking in potential contributors.

Prospects outside top 100, top 10 goalies: Buffalo is high on Brendan Guhle. I'm not as enthusiastic about him, but I see things to like. He's a fantastic skater, particularly for his size, who can lead an attack well and close his gaps efficiently. I worry that his offensive skills aren't as developed; while he's fine handling the puck, he can be rather ordinary, moving it with his vision rather than his feet.

After a successful few years in the KHL, including being named a first-team All-Star and a leading scorer in last season's playoffs, Antipin looks ready to be a useful NHL player. He's a skilled puck-mover with good mobility. He's small and doesn't play a physical game, but his defense is passable given his gap control and reads.

Nick Baptiste had a solid second pro season. He's a good skater who plays a simple yet effective game. He's not a pure dangler, but he's smart enough to go to the right spots to get his scoring chances.

Scouts I talk to overseas have one common description of Marcus Davidsson: smart. He's a versatile player who can play center or the wing effectively and play a role on both special teams. Davidsson skates at an above-average level, sometimes flashing at a higher level. He can make some offensive plays, works hard to win pucks and projects to have value defensively as a pro.

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is a physically towering netminder, and he takes away a lot of net before we even get into his skill set. He's not a super-athletic goalie but rather gets his stops by taking away space, being economical with his movements and reading the play well. He can get across the crease when he needs to, with solid power from his legs, and can make the occasional highlight-reel type of play.

I'm losing patience on Hudson Fasching (No. 11). I see a big man with decent tools and the ability to make plays at both ends, but it just seems like he's never going to develop the offensive instincts to be an important player at the NHL level.

Noteworthy prospect: Casey Fitzgerald is a great skater who can make standout offensive plays. I've always been troubled by his defensive coverage and risk management, but he's at least shown some progress on both fronts. In the end, he's still a work in progress.

2017-18 impact: The Sabres' system isn't ready to graduate too many players, though KHL import Antipin will be an NHL regular and potentially useful on Buffalo's power play. Guhle should get a long look at camp but could probably use some AHL time. Baptiste and Fasching could also contend for a depth role.

Not that we really care what ESPN says. But here is the top 100 prospects from the insider. I'll only put the Sabres players in here.
