Chase Priskie

An older prospect, Priskie turned 26 in March. He played college hockey at Quinnipiac University, where he also showed two-way tendencies, evidenced by his 116 points in 154 games.

Priskie has just four games of NHL experience, logging three blocks, three hits, a takeaway, and four giveaways. As you may have guessed, the RHD has spent most of his time in the AHL, where he displays a high-end, two-way game.

This indicates that the Buffalo Sabres could try to develop Priskie into a low-end, two-way player at the NHL level. But not before he continues to develop his game in the AHL, where he has 121 games of experience and 73 total points, 19 goals, and 54 assists. In terms of 2022-23, expect Priskie to spend the entire season in the AHL.
