Will the buffalo Sabres draft Felix Unger Sorum?

86th overall – Felix Unger Sorum, LW/Leksands IF

Aha! I knew I’d have one of my sleepers fall right into the middle rounds, and Felix Unger Sorum did not disappoint. Elite Prospects has him ranked 85th, and FC Hockey ranked him at 68th, so I got a small steal here. If one aspect of Unger Sorum’s game stands out, it’s when he’s in transition. And that, once he adds polish, will help him create several scoring opportunities.

109th overall – Andrew Gibson, D/Soo Greyhounds

You may look at Andrew Gibson’s analytics and cringe, but he knows what to do with the puck and he’s not afraid to try and make plays. Once he learns to execute, his overall game will pick up. But for now, the 6’3, 198 lb 18-year-old holds value as a big hitter.

141st overall – Charlie Robertson, G/North Bay Battalion

I’ve stated before that the Buffalo Sabres need to take multiple goaltenders. And they should go after high potential prospects who play a fearless game. Though he has a small sample size, Charlie Robertson is one of those players, and he can make a leap next season once he gains more experience.
