Buffalo Sabres: Seven-round mock draft for 2023 (Who goes at 13th?)

3 of 3

Could Charlie Robertson end up with the Buffalo Sabres?

173rd overall – Quentin Miller, G/Quebec Remparts

Quentin Miller is yet another goaltender who has a limited sample size to work with. But don’t let that fool you-Miller logged a solid 2.11 GAA and a 0.911 save percentage last season. Sure, the Quebec Remparts were an excellent team, but he’s made a good early impression.

205th overall – Peteris Bulans, D/Chicoutimi Saguenéens

Peteris Bulans is yet another high potential, low sample size pick who makes a perfect flier in the seventh round. Last year, Bulans spent 29 games with Chicoutimi Saguenéens of the QMJHL, logging 18 points in 25 contests and adding another six in five playoff games.

Overall, my draft strategy was rather simple. Take the best on the board at 13th overall, draft for need in the middle rounds, then shift gears to potential in the last three rounds. In this mock, I hit everything I intended to, taking four blueliners, a pair of goaltenders, Quentin Musty, and who I believe is a dynamic sleeper.
