Lots of teams are completely taking Russians off the draft board.

It's going to be crazy seeing all of them drop

This years playoffs has made me appreciate having Dahlin and power together on the same team.

Power = Hedman
Dahlin = makar

Samuelsson Not sure who to compare him current player wise. He is Like our jay mckee

Gauthier @ 9
Yurov @ 16
Miro @ 28

Plan the Parade, no doubt one hell of a top line!

Edit: if the Sabres are seriously considering packaging Olo to move up...get to Philly's 5 spot.

Yes please take olofsson to move up. A human pylon that can shoot.

Watching the Avs. You need to be able to skate. Olofsson not good at it

I think he's got more offensive upside than Orpik, but I can see the comparison defensively.

Olofsson is a winger with natural goal-scoring instincts. Knows how to find open ice and has a good, hard shot. Skates extremely well and is a decent playmaker, too. His lack of size can be a problem in physical contests

Sounds like there could be opportunities to move up from 9 if Adams so desired. Looks like 5 and 7 could be had. Would you move up to take Jiricek.

I'm beginning to circle Gauthier for me, followed by Savoie then Nazar.
One of Savoie or Nazar should be there for the Sabres at 9

Gauthier likely goes in that 5, 6, 7 spot.

He skates “extremely well”.

This is definitely not true at all. Watch the Avs players. They skate extremely well. Eichels stride is a thing of beauty.

Olofsson is not that

I like Nazar at 9, but I also think Jiricek is the 4th best player in this draft and if he fell out of the top 5 I might try and go and get him.

Ya, while O,o has improved his overall game, the only thing I would rate as extremely well is his shot. Still, 50 pts is not nothing, especially on a team that struggles to finish over all (Sans Tage this season and Skinner)

My clip was from an on line article.

Olofsson is a very good skater, ever go to Sabres game?

I like Jiricek, was an early target for me when many prognosticators had him several slots below Nemec...so I certainly get the allure. I also think Gauthier isn't far behind..a pick or 3 ... so I do believe they could use a stud C, which is where some see Gauthier in a couple years.

I'd be happy with Jiricek!!

We shall see, going to be interesting.

Sounds like that's the plan with Gauthier at Boston to play C. Looking forward to the draft, could get pretty wacky. Bunch of teams with no 1sts and a bunch with multiple.

Personally I'd be disappointed if the Sabres pick another early 1st round defenseman.

How many top line defenseman do they need?

I realize the draft is to fill future needs, but we have a really young solid core , possibly still including Johnson
