Why This Years Draft Is Key For the Buffalo Sabres

Aaron Ekblad

Although the Buffalo Sabres defence seems to be set for the future, if Ekblad is available when they pick he may be too sweet to pass up. He was granted exceptional status to play in the OHL as a 15 year old and is already 6 foot 3, 217 pounds at the tender age of 17, he will be 18 in a month. He’s put up 32 points in 33 games this season from the point and is thought to have one of the highest ceilings of the top 5.
