Sabres Stocked With Young Talent, Draft Picks
After the Sabres' recent acquisition of Colton Sceivour from the Dallas Stars, let's take a look at how their future looks.
Young Forwards
Zemgus Girgensons, Mikhail Grigorenko, Johan Larsson and (to an extent) Cody Hodgson make up a core of young and talented forwards. Hodgson is already the No.1 option at center, Larsson saw some extended action in the NHL this year and Girgensons and Grigorenko are still developing.
Younger Defenseman
Great group of young blueliners for the Sabres. Tyler Myers has been great this year (when healthy), Jamie McBain's been a top-4 all season, and Mark Pysyk has impressed enough to stick around in the NHL. Add recent first-round picks Rasmus Ristolainen and Nikita Zadorov, and this defense will soon be going strong.
Draft Picks
The Sabres have 4 first roun draft picks in the next two years, and 4 (!!!) second-rounders in 2014. Maybe use those to trade up for, say, Aaron Ekblad? Connor McDavid?
