Amerks up 1-0 on a Kevin Porter goal

Was just talking to Fenchy, our neighborhood prospect blogger, He said Reinhart is just too good to pass up at this point at 1 overall.

I've found myself swaying towards the Ekblad bandwagon lately..

Can't wait to go downtown again in Buffalo for playoff hockey! Nothing like it in any other sport! Just a different feeling through out the city

Anyone else want the jackets to knock out the pens ?

I want Detroit to knock out Boston more.

If the scouting reports are correct, there are only two players in this draft that have franchise-changing potential: Reinhart and Ekblad. If the assessment is correct, no Sabres fan should be upset at ending up with either.

Ekblad very well could fall to the Sabres.



Fla. GM Dale Tallon was the GM in Chi who drafted Johnathan Toews.

And who is Sam Bennett being compared to?

Johnathan Toews.

If Tallon is brazen enough to draft Bennett, then Reinhart is the guy the Sabres should draft without question.

Agreed

Fixed.

Bennett is smaller, less defensively capable, and much more aggressive than Toews. It's honestly an off-the-board comparison. More like a Theo Fleury-lite, just a bit bigger. Or you can go with the Gilmour comparison, there's no flaw in that one.

Bennett is NHL Central Scoutings #1 rated draft prospect.



It's weather your looking for apples or oranges at this point.

We don't need Ekblad

I guess you rather be the Nashville Predators of NHL then!
Hides and prays to God that Florida draft Ekblad!!!

We don't need Ekblad

This, and this!!

I wouldn't say that... But we sure do need a center a hell of a lot more.

There really isn't a strong correlation between the CSS #1 and the player that's actually been drafted #1 over the years.

"There are guys who elevate their game when it matters most, and you're looking to project which players will do that consistently at the next level," NHL Director of Central Scouting Dan Marr said. "The guys we have at the top all are in that mold, but when we look at Sam Bennett we see a guy who could potentially have a Jonathan Toews type of career."
