Not a Devils fan, but I went with Yakemchuk.

Although I can see Helenius winning this one.

Carter Yakemchuk

 

[Ehran]

If the board falls this way, I would want the Sabres to draft Yakemchuk.

I'm scared they'll draft Eiserman.

 

[Beerz]

Konsta Helenius .. sounds like a Greek God.



Praying we trade pick tho

 

[tsujimoto74]

I'm not exactly a draft guru, but I like the sound of Helenius. We need more natural centers, and we need more high-IQ 200' forwards. RHD would also be nice, but the ones still on the board here all seem like riskier picks than Helenius. Would certainly not be mad if they went for someone like Yakemchuk, though.

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

I feel this is a pretty realistic situation, which is nice. A bunch of players left I'd be happy with, but some favorites definitely gone.

 

[SharkInABoloTie]

Sennecke. Hands down

Helenius (safest pick) and Sennecke (ceiling) are a coin flip for me.

I lean Helenius because there's a need for natural Cs, and as you said more a sure thing.

 

[Fly Boy]

Yak all day for me. Wouldn't be upset with Helenius though.

 

[Ace]

I voted Helenius but I’m fine with others. Not Eiserman. Bummed Brandsegg-Nygard was already gone

 

[Fjordy]

One of Helenius or Yakemchuk (vote Helenius)

 

[Chainshot]

Having a Tim Murray moment and going with the winger over the defensemen or the center…

 

[paulmm3]

Helenius or Yakemchuk - voted Helenius. Good IQ, defensively aware, maybe brings a little of the sandpaper and fire we so desperately need out of our higher end forwards slash entire roster.

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

Helenius (safest pick) and Sennecke (ceiling) are a coin flip for me.

Same here -- total coin flip.

 

[Old Navy Goat]

I went Helenius as a plug and play C. I love Sennecke upside and that Yakemchuk brings elements missing from our RHD pool but the void at C is too big to pass up

 

[Chainshot]

Funny to see non-Sabre fans going way off board with their picks on here.

You gotta screw those results

 

[Gabrielor]

If the Sabres org feels the way this poll consensus does (so far), they better be trading 1 or 2 prospects.

Rosen-Savoie-Ostlund-Kulich-Benson...-Helenius....that's some hyper small-ball drafting, hammering at the same position over and over.


I'm real surprised the big RD with skill isn't running away with this.

Always how these polls go.

How small is Helenius?


Who plays with piss and vinegar out of this group? I'm willing to change my vote

5'11 190lbs thereabouts so average size. If you want true piss and vinegar you need to go with Surin. Chernysov plays like Necas in that he uses his frame to protect the puck but doesn't hammer people

Who's playing C out of that group? Outside of Ostlund you have a bunch of W. There will be a bunch of D available with the 2nd round pick, plus the growth of Komorov and Strbak lessen the need. I have espoused the virtues of Yakemchuk for months, and I'd be ecstatic if he was their pick but need trumps all when they're the same tier.

You can't go wrong choosing between Helenius, Yakemchuk or Sennecke as they all are something the prospect pool lacks

5'11 190 isn't bad for 18 yr old. He'll probably be 210 by the time he is in NHL
