Botterill’s first two drafts have shown early promise

A lot has not gone right for Jason Botterill in his two years as general manager of the Buffalo Sabres. His team has finished in the bottom five of the league in each season he was at the helm. One of the bright spots, however, have been the early signs of promise from his two draft classes.

Not only has his scouting staff hit on the early picks, but it looks as though they’ve grabbed a few promising prospects in the later rounds of the draft. The Sabres as an organization over the last few years has failed to hit on players beyond the first two rounds of the draft.
