I found it interesting that 1 year ago Laaksonen (that's the best I could do) was drafted and nobody knew who he was. Now he is on this list. That's a positive sign for a scouting department.

If his role at the World Junior Summer Showcase is a foreshadowing what’s to come it looks like he’ll be leaned on quite a bit this December for the U20 team.

J White says super secret Sabres guy told him Reinhart is close. Time to see how close we all were in guessing the contract....

I really wish they would have changed to that blue when the adidas uniforms came out.

I don't see that defenseman we signed out of college this year... I guess he sucks.

He has some promise. The one game I saw him play he took two penalties and looked rattled. He is young and has some talent. Will be interesting to watch him develop.

It’s amazing how much better the farm system looks after one successful offseason. We’re in nice shape moving forward with three first round picks next year.

My “source” who has been right on a few things (Pegula’s wanting Kane out, O’Reilly definitely being traded) told me that the Pegula’s really, really want Khalil Mack FWIW.

We should have drafted him and not that scrub we did.....maybe a chance to fix it but they can’t give up their first next year.(can they)??

Maybe 2019 1st, Shaq Lawson and 2020 3rd?

Just a guess

I'm beginning to think I am "black-navy color blind". I have never thought the current jerseys look black, on TV or in person...unless the TV was in black and white, which I don't think I have seen them on in my life.

I was being facetious. I just think they're too dark

I know, but I have heard many people complain that they look black on TV. I have never had that problem.

"Thompson has incredible skills for a guy his size and a big shot as well. He needs to compete harder and play with more pace to have success in the NHL, but he has a ton of upside." From The Athletic

I don't know anything about Thompson but that certainly is a very promising comment. I think he starts in Rochester (because he can be sent down) and gets top line minutes there. He is the 1st forward called up once the injuries start occurring.

I wouldn’t trade that 2019 1st, unless it’s at the deadline and we have a few wins under our belt.

If we trade a top 3 pick that’s moronic

I just wonder where we’d rank without Dahlin & Mittelstadt?

Since we all know they’ll be in the team this year,
i still think it’s disingenuous to consider them “prospects”
