    His evaluation of guys line power kulich and benson is absolutely cracked out.

    And why the fuck is Levi so low.

    I’m entirely disregarding this…

    Levi that low is click bait. They know what they’re doing.

    Pronman’s big picture view of players is ok, he sucks at details though…. opposite of Wheeler who can’t see the fit for the skills. Pronman has a weird bias for size, assuming that a bigger player with lesser skills has a better shot by virtue of size… they are “athletic” and can compensate for their lack of puck skillls, hockey sense, or skating. Whereas smaller players may never have enough compete, skating, or “the frame” to stick full time. He also seems to grade skating mostly by straight line speed rather than other aspects of skating like edge-work, or acceleration.

    Minor quibble for this particular article: no Lindgren or Komarov even in the “have a chance” section? – OK. I disagree, but ok.

    Honestly, reading this, it became even more apparent how disgusting the team we’re going to have is. Even if only half of the prospects hit. Many comments, and not just from Sabres fans, in the various teams rankings, said we should be #1 or #2… and they’re not wrong. For me, guessing yesterday, I thought we’d be 3rd or 4th, but I also didn’t realize 2019 draftees (Cozens, Krebs, Johnson) still counted.
