The Buffalo Sabres are particularly thin at right-wing in their prospect pool. They also lack an abundance of scoring forwards in their system. The selection of Cole Caufield checks both of those needs.
The 18-year-old is coming off an excellent U18 World Championship performance for Team USA. He scored 14 and 18 points in seven games for the Americans.
