Very true. Add it to the list of Mittelstadt, Thompson, Girgensons, Ristolainen, Zadorov, Greg O'Renko who all come to mind as rushed since the dark age of Sabre hockey has descended.

Edit - forgot them stupidly hanging onto Krebs instead of doing the right thing there too before sending him down to work on his game. Too many to keep all of them firmly in mind at all times.

LOL. Is it possible the Sabres just don't pick well?

Both. It's both.

It's more than likely that the Sabres may not have taken the right guy at their draft spot AND didn't put guys in position to be maximally successful. But because we haven't put guys in position to be as successful as possible, we'll never truly know if we picked the right guy or not.

Let's say we take Martin Necas or Nick Suzuki or Robert Thomas in 2017 instead of Mitts. Do you think either reaches the level they're at now in this organization? I sure as hell don't think so.

The Sabres need to stop rushing their kids so they can properly develop.
