The Buffalo Sabres are nearly geared up for the 2015 NHL draft this Friday evening, and we here at SabreNoise are just about ready ourselves.

The NHL draft always has some surprises for which players get taken where they do (i.e When Seth Jones fell to #4 overall) and making this list was not an easy task I assure you.

As the Draft nears, this is the final Mock Draft for 2015 and is the best fits (that I see) for each player and each team.
