Yeah, I think it's a good possibility that like last year, our second round pick forwards could end up better then the first round forward.

Rosen will be good if he hits, but he's a boom or bust

I think his low end is Tyler Ennis prime to be honest.

Isn't this exactly what Adams did last year LOL it took a home run swing on Jack Quinn a kid that can put the puck in the net. But all the Sabres fans cried cuz they'd rather have the five foot nine Marco Rossi. chuck up another Young one in the pool that can put the puck in the net Adams went crazy for goal scorers with speed and the ones that didn't score a lot of goals were of the feisty types. This season might be a little brutal to watch but it would be highly interesting

Ehhhhh….

I think the dude has a very nice ceiling, but a Tyler Ennis career would be an average career for a 14th overall pick or whatever it technically was

His floor is just never becoming an NHL’er, which I’m not predicting happens btw.

If we hit on one of Rosen and the two Ruskies, and Power becomes what I personally think he will be it’s a successful draft.

I love our second round picks

Will be interesting to see how the Rosen pick works out. There were a few names there they could have gone with that would have made more sense but I can’t say I watched too much of Rosen to make a hair judgement.
- Pegullaville


I like the scouching report on him (Youtuber if you didn't know). Most of what I liked was his willingness to change his game to better combat the level he's playing with. Can be a scorer, can be a passer, can be a hound defensively. Really worth a watch.

Hank, let's not forget when Gus hobbled Eichel just before the opener!

I've gotta think that if getting Zegras back was simply a matter of tossing in a prospect like Ryan Johnson or Bryson then it would have happened.

They wanted him bad been planning to draft him for months
- gerbe75pts


I’ll take your word for it. He reminds me of Peterka whom I like a lot.

Rosen did dominate J20 but because he didn’t really get much of a sample size at the SHL level it’s tough to judge at this very moment for me.

Big fan of Will’s work. Was honestly the first thing I watched after he was drafted.

I saw him ranked in the 20-30 range in mock drafts but I so see the raw ability. I’m just hoping we don’t regret on passing on Lucius or Wallstedt

I really wanted us to nab him, but KA at least seems to have a plan, and like others have noted we now have an interesting mix of prospects.

Silly Sabres fans. When will you get it through your heads. I was right about Risto and Larssons and I'm right about Girgensons. It is time to wash this guy out of the locker room 10 years is way to many years. And 14th overall says it best - L-O-S-E-R. Eichel is on his way out and it's time to wash the locker room out with bleach from the old regime flush this last turd down the drain. Period.

Very well could. Wallstedt going after Cossa was a shocker for me. Wild got a steal at 20.
