The Top 25 Under 25 is a collaboration by members of the Die By The Blade community. It was a combination of staff writers and over 600 readers that ranked Buffalo Sabres players under the age of 25 as of August 1, 2022. Each participant used their own metric of current ability and production to rank each player.
University of Minnesota defenseman Ryan Johnson is the next man up and as one of three players tied for 17th on the list, he’s a player that probably should be a little higher, but perhaps a reason some voted him a little lower down the board is trepidation.
