Unfortunately it's missing some of the best names. Ratkovich Berndtsson and Von Barnekow Løfberg need to be here, at least top five

Ostlund SLANDER.

He’s performing at a 60 pNHLE pace and making good contributions To the Swedish wj team that had a bunch of 19yo on it this year.

He’s ahead of nadeau and Rosen

Very nice to take the time to develop a ranking of the Sabres top 20 prospects, good job.

Ostlund SLANDER...

The rankings are all subjective, maybe we can all agree that top 8 all have a chance to be in the NHL within a couple of years.
We may see Johnson play a handful of games this year.
18 yo Kulich could make the jump next year as he is doing very well in Rochester with 16 goals and 34 pts in 44 games.
Over his last 15 games he has 9 goals and 17 pts.
Savoie 18 yo has 80 pts in 54 Junior games.
Of the top 8 prospects only Nadeau (204 lb) weighs more than 175 lb. while 13 of the current Sabres weigh over 195 lbs.
Over the next couple of years Buffalo may be moving on from Mittelstadt, Olofsson, Girgensons, Okposo, Hinostroza, Comrie, Anderson, Lyubushkin and maybe even Skinner.

They are in a tier of their own. The ghosts of prospects past like William Worge Kreu and Linus Lindstrand Cronholm are in the same tier.

He's promising, but I don't place him higher than any of the players above him

Ya he's a great prospect. Nadeau is tearing up the Q and has the NHL ready frame for a power forward. He goes to the dirty areas and scores goals in tight (rebounds, loose pucks etc.) that is skill that I see as translating easily to the NHL. Rosen is all speed and skill and has had a great rookie season in the AHL (a much better league than Div 2 Sweden). Like I said, I like Ostlund, but let's wait until next season when presumably he will play in the SHL. If he can have a solid 25-30 point season then I'm sold on him being the real deal

It's not fair that the Sabres hog all the good names. I mean we just picked up Mukhamadullin but there needs to be a Von in there too. Shakir Von Mukhamadullin - Cromwell.
