Honestly don't know. There were only 5 picks in 2020 and 2 figure to come aboard next year. Constantini will go back to college. The 2021 draft, I think Nadeau is too young for the AHL, Power is obviously here and the Russians are in Russia

Feels like there's a bit of a prospect gap, especially if they can't sign Johnson. One of the reasons I don't think they are in a great position to trade futures. The roster looks packed next year, but there's really nothing right behind it.

3 first round picks will help that.

It helps the system, no question. The gap is still going to be there. Should be a good wave of guys hitting Roch in 2023.

Why hasn’t he been signed already? Waiting to see what happens after free agency? Its a strange situation.

They've been cheap with Roch, post-JB. A college UFA or two would have been nice.

If only Samson was here scoring for us. Oh what could've been.

And when you pick as high as we have, players skip the system sometimes and right to the big club.

This article is terrible.

Samuelsson bouncing back and forth next year? 🤣🤣🤣

She wanted Power to join the Sabres in 24-25? 🤔

Josi has 90 points... When was the last time a defenseman had 90?

Just looked it up. 1993-1994 season. Ray Borque with 91 points.

Damn. Almost 30 years.

I can't argue against it at this point. But you know they will never give it to a defenseman.

Gosh, such a victim here that I don't even need to show up for literally everyone, including Fitz, to be absolutely piling on you for your incredibly vapid arguments.
