Quoting: sabres89
Typically, if you are asking a d to play their off hand, they are above average skaters, Samuelsson is below average. If this is my choice, I'm taking a shot at a franchise center with our pick, so the right d you mention, that might be able to step in right away, I'm not picking them. My reason is that we have solid left d talent, I would try to find a couple defensive right shot d, to complement the left d. We don't have a #1 center, we won't find one anywhere but the top of the draft.
Samuelsson's skating has greatly improved.
I wouldn't draft either RHD over any of Wright, Cooley, or Savoie either, but the Sabres may not have a choice by the time they pick, and Nemec is damn good.
To me, the top 6 in the draft are Wright, Cooley, Savoie, Slafkovsky, Nemec, and Jiricek.
