With pick number 99 in the NHL Draft, the Buffalo Sabres have selected...defenseman Jacob Bryson from Providence College.
As a freshman last year at Providence, Bryson scored 20 points in 39 games, ranking him third among NCAA rookie defensemen, and he’s been a good point producer at all levels thus far in his career. The 19-year old lefty is a great skater who likes to drive the offense with either a good first pass or by taking the puck up the ice himself.
The knock on Bryson is his size, standing just 5’9’’, 175 lbs, which is pretty undersized at the NHL level.
