The Buffalo Sabres are considered to have one of the deepest prospect pools in the NHL. This is partially the benefit of selecting so high in recent drafts, but the club has also appeared to have a keen eye for talent and has promising youngsters that they’ve selected in the lower rounds.
Here is a quick update on the players selected in 2023:

Ethan Miedema – LW – 109 th overall
The Sabres appeared more focused on adding players with size in 2023 after focusing on skill and speed in the last couple drafts. The 6’4”, 201 lb. Miedema reflected that trend. After being sent by Windsor to Kingston in the Shane Wright deal last year, the big 18-year-old scored 21 points in 32 games with the Frontenacs to finish out the season.
This year, Miedema is second on Kingston behind Jacob Battaglia with 16 goals in 45 games.
Scott Ratzlaff – G – 141 st overall
