Sabres are so freaking loaded.. it's not even fair. Sounds like Benson is trending to make the opening night roster in Buffalo too.
And in a redraft, he easily goes top 10
is there going to be one about lambert or is the last one jiricek
What's the plan to replace the "one year later "series I would love to see you do a "where are they currently " series in regards to teams doing rebuilds . With rebuilds /retools becoming prominent in hockey it's been fun to compare and see where the teams are. For example last year San jose in full denial of having to embrace the rebuild , but now they are kicking a rebuild off
Love love love the moves management is making! Go Sabres!!
Was more productive in the AHL playoff as an 18/19 year olds than Mesar who struggled in the OhL playoff playing against kids. I'm sure the Habs already regrett this pick.
Kulich 34th in the AHL in goals at age 18, everyone else was old enough to be his father
Buffalo has the best 18-21 year old prospects of all teams
Mr Lego is the number 1 Sabres supporter!
If you watch the Sabres inside-the-draft video from 2022, they were debating Ostlund vs. Kulich at pick 16, and were trying to trade up to pick 17 and up to draft Kulich. Oh and btw, its pronounced "koo-lick" or "koo-leek."
