I'm glad you guys are all smarter than our scouts. He has as much skill as anybody in the draft. He needs to get stronger but when he does, the sky is the limit. Tbots said he'd take the bpa and he did.

Maybe u should check yourself turbo

I was asking a sincere question to NOT you

I'm not the one blasting the pick

At least the pick wasn't traded for a goalie

On this kind of draft year I'm gonna take picks with a grain of salt. Remember back a couple of years ago when people were FURIOUS we didn't draft Shinkaruk or Nichushkin? Yeah... and look how THAT turned out.

Trade Kane now

Hopefully he doesn't Petersen/Vesey us

Trade Reinhart now

- sbroads24

No, the Coyotes did that already.

Hopefully he doesn't Petersen/Vesey us
- chilliard77

hes a first rounder so technically wed get compensation for it ( i forget where the pick would be though)

- Sabresfan-365

So he's better than Dylan Larkin?

I was thrilled with taking Risto
This is definitely not the pick I'd have made
I guess we'll see how he develops,
But it's gonna be a while before he sniffs the Sabres lineup

No, the Coyotes did that already.

They also got a 50 point center. Come on now

Wow thought you guys would take Villardi

Worst thing is that we won't see how big of a bust he is for quite a while.

I don't think he'll go the full 4 years. He'll be ready before then. But he didn't exactly look thrilled.

I believe it is the first pick in the 2md round.

- Wetbandit1

ive been saying dylan larkin is overrated ever since buf19 called him a gamer so i dont know what you're getting at

How do you not take Tippett or Vilardi for Christ sake

- Sabresfan-365

I'll be psyched if he has a freshman year like Kyle Connor

- IceColdBeer

He'll be a free agent by then and just sign wherever he wants.

I believe it is the first pick in the 2md round.
- Mentalorgasm5

I see, for some reason i thought it was different if its a top 10 pick. Thought youd get a ball in the lottery (like 15th pick in it or whatever)

- jdfitz77

these are ushl numbers. basically par with mid to late first rounders.

Wow thought you guys would take Villardi
- Matthews_Auston

Nobody is taking Villardi,must be his skating???
