Buffalo Sabres gearing up for a strong draft class in 2019
The Buffalo Sabres have had very successful drafts the past few years and they are set to have an even stronger draft class in 2019.
When Tim Murray was the General Manager of the Buffalo Sabres, he was a part of two successful drafts in 2015 and 2016. Those two drafts brought in the likes of Jack Eichel, Brendan Guhle, Sam Reinhart and Rasmus Asplund — all of whom either have or will have major roles for Buffalo moving forward.
When Tim Murray was let go and Jason Botterill became the next GM, two more successful drafts followed in 2017 and 2018. Those two drafts brought in the likes of Casey Mittelstadt, Marcus Davidsson, Rasmus Dahlin and Mattias Samuelsson.
