Quoting: BUFF36
NHL Network just came out with there TOP 50 NHL prospects. Sabres had 4 on it Benson at 19, Savoie at 27, Kulich at 28, and Levi at 30. And that's just 4. Probably have 3 more when the TOP 100 comes out. Sabres are loaded with Quality and Quantity. It's really on Adams and his nerd crew to make the right Decisions on building this team. They have the resources to build a powerhouse. Adams needs to prove he can make hard Decisions and at this point it seems to be his biggest flaw. lmo
Two things, back 2014 Buffalo also had 4 among the top 50.
Reinhart, Grigorenko, Zadorov and Fasching.
We know how that turned out.
On the other hand, this just feels so much different.
Second, these rankings seem to favor larger players.
While I did not do extensive research, Knies is ranked 14 and Kulich is 28th
18 yo Juri (24 goals in 62 games) has already proven his skills against pros, while 20 yo Matthew (21 goals in 40 games) has played very well against only college age students, much weaker competetion but Knies gets the nod because he is 6'3 and juri in only 5'11".
Who has a better resume than Levi with
TWO Richter Awards, but since he is only 6'0" he is ranked 30th.
