Any way he doesn't get an ELC from Buffalo next year? Pretty sure he's a senior.

He’s a junior and no.

He was like Eichel and McXabe drafted after his 1st yr in college.

His rights go to August 15 of graduating year in 2020.

If he opts to turn pro in March buffalo has his rights till June 1 2021

'No' meaning he'll get an offer to come out next year?

I believe Botts would make an effort to sign him, as well as any player from his first draft as gm, even if Bryson weren’t really good, which he is.

2017 is the first and maybe only draft year, where I think every pick we made has a legit shot. Crazy.

Yup. Even Weissbach is over PPG in college.

Good piece on Bryson - bit of a long shot, but he's in the Hobey Baker talk this year.

He's really coming on.

Everything I have heard about him is good.

There is a precedent for 5'9 defencemen to make the NHL. Torey Krug, Jared Spurgeon, Victor Mete

If you have wheels, and hockey IQ, there's no reason it can't be done.

Once his season in Providence is over, it would be great to see the Sabres sign him promptly.

[GOALOFSSON]

Called him a "Flat out stud" at the end too

 

[Chainshot]

Still of the opinion that he should be signed when the Friars’ season comes to an end. Regardless of who is behind the big club’s bench, he is all that one could want in a modern NHL defender except tall.

Seconded.

Agreed, want him signed immediately. Hoping he doesn’t go to senior year and then walk...

And... you... can't.... teach... height

 

[Buffalo Norsemen]

Wonder if he's decided to stay in school and that's why they signed Fitzgerald?

He's still playing.

 

[Chainshot]

He continues to impress me every time I see him. Stick, feet, brain... all top notch defending and turning the puck up in transition.

he made one massive boner that ended up in his own net, but he's been stellar outside of that. He really looks like a player who has proven all he can at this level.

 

[Gabrielor]

Looking amazing in the Minn St game.

Man, I really hope he doesnt pull a Petersen...

 

[MayDayMayDay]

He has been near dominant this game against Minnesota State. His poise and passing are really impressive.

 

[Snippit]

First game I've taken in of him...flat out stud

 

[Chainshot]

he made one massive ***** that ended up in his own net, but he's been stellar outside of that. He really looks like a player who has proven all he can at this level.

If I ran the team, I’d have a contract in front of his advisor the day after they are eliminated.

They’ve been much better at signing the people they want to sign them they have and losing people. Just look at Casey Fitzgerald in the last week - he could have walked in August but they got it done. Nothing about how Jacob has spoken or about the team leads me to think they won’t get it done.

I was more worried about Borgen than Bryson and that got done quickly.

Borgen could have wanted to stay and work on his offensive production even though he was ready to move up. Bryson seems like he’d be spinning his wheels. Plus he was an overager who knows the whole league passed on him. Botterill could be like, bro...I got the job and the first thing I did was look for guys like you because your style is my entire plan.

In my hypothetical Botterill uses the word bro.
