Luke Osburn....amongst and against largely anonymous 16 17 yo he forced me to pay attention. Does nothing at world level but has few weaknesses and a lot of time to grow.

I had high hopes for him but do you think he will make it with the limited playing time and lack of offense even at the AHL level?

It came down to Poltapov at F, Osburn on D, and Leenders in goal for me. And I think I will go with Osburn if I have to choose one right now.
I looked at the lists we had here, the xB fan list, and the xB guys lists and went with guys that landed outside the top 15 on one of them as the criteria for who would be considered a darkhorse. And I think Novikov and Ziemer were top 15 in all those lists.
Personally, I think those two guys are too good to be darkhorse prospects.

If I dig a little deeper, Marjala isn't quite anonymous but the ocean keeps him relatively unknown and I like what Richard can do although he's a top 6 or bust player. Both guys with a solid skill set to build upon
And idk if Novikov would have made the top 15 without all of my bi***ing about him
Ryan Johnson. For some reason everyone is sleeping on him. He was probably their 3rd best D last season. Even the Sabre's didn't appreciate him enough.

Osburn for me.
I want to say Ziemer as well but I think the org is already pretty high on him so I'm not sure he qualifies.

He was in the way!
That's why he's such a dark horse. I know he's fallen off the radar due to injuries but if he can put together a full season I think he has the heart and toughness and skill to be a solid 4th rounder.
I'm a prof in Orono so watch a lot of Hockey East and despite decades of disdain for our cross state rival at the University of No Hardware I really wanted to see the latter name blossom as a Sabres prospect. Safe to say that, as a touted freshman at least, he didn't. Saw him live in the Alfond but was hardly noiceable. Last season he didn't even see meaningful minutes on an otherwise mediocre team. Maybe the change of scenery this season does something but I just don't see it with him.

Huglen has just been around the block but he is a solid singer who goes to the net, we really lack that. He is a great passer, we really lack that. I know he will be on the wrong side of 30 when he comes outta college but the upside and improvement is still there. Sadly, I don't think he is in Adams plans.
Sardarian has a high IQ and is an incredible passer, he should at least get a look.

"Eric Cartman?"
Still holding out hope for Taro Tsujimoto, but at this point in his career / life, I'll likely see a cure for Alzheimer's disease before we see him make the NHL.
