Hard to find a spot for all of the young forwards.
Since the Sabres drafted Östlund before Kulich, one would presume Noah will also make the line up as Juri looks about ready to crack the NHL in the '23-'24 season.
Rosén is the only one of the recently drafted forwards who may not get there and there may be other forwards as well.
Paltapov, Neuchev, Kisakov and others.
