With three left-handed defensemen all projected to go within the top ten picks of the 2016 NHL Entry Draft, it would appear as if the Buffalo Sabres will have plenty of opportunities to draft a mobile defenseman to flesh out the left side of the blueline.
But what if the best option for the Sabres is NOT one of the three blueliners we have profiled here at Sabre Noise? (Well, outside of Olli Juolevi, the LHD I really hope is still available when the Sabres pick.)
As you probably deduced, I’m discussing jake Bean, the soon-to-be 18 year-old LHD who just finished his second season playing for the Calgary Hitmen in the WHL.
