2018 NHL Draft Profile: Ty Dellandrea the underrated center
So far we’ve focused on defensemen and wingers in these 2018 NHL Draft prospect profiles. The Buffalo Sabres are still pretty deep at center with Jack Eichel, Rasmus Asplund, Cliff Pu, Sean Malone, Casey Mittelstadt and at the moment Ryan O’Reilly.
Even though that’s a position of strength at the moment, like defense, you can never have too much depth down the middle. It’s a critical position that is always in demand around the league.
This draft isn’t full of centers, but Ty Dellandrea is an intriguing prospect that may be getting overlooked.
