just saying that the majority of his points weren't play making points and his goals were rebounds, tips and empty netters.

Okay are you really trying to compair Sam and Joel to Casey... because neither / none ( except Jack) of them has the skill or speed even close to mittlestadt.

And seeing as this is the only competition I can see Casey play against... i’m Seeing what I want to see.

Do love his speed and hands but, to put things in perspective, he's averaging about a point a game in college (maybe slightly less) at the same age Jack averaged about 1.5

I will also say he has more skill than any other sabre we have drafted in the last 30 years other than Jack


we drafted Turgeon 30 years and 6 months ago

Which probably makes him the 2nd best player on the Sabres... in the near future.

even "buffaluck" gets you a high end defensemen, like provorov, werenski, hanifin in 2015.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but the consensus going in was "A Sam".
- Wetbandit1


Yep , pretty much you thought he was awesome.
You defended him to no end.

What? That doesn't even make sense.

95% of people had Reinhart ahead of Draisaitl. It appears they were wrong. You're the revisionist here, not me.

He looks like a real pro. I think he's in buffalo next season. I know jbotts likes to bring them up slowly, but he can help fill the seats, add some excitement and skill

It really wasn’t that much of a consensus, at all.

A poster here had a list he recently posted, of who everyone thought we would take from 2014.

There was a mixture of all 3. I picked Leon. In fact, more picked Leon than Bennett
