Sabres Selected 9th

Defenseman Radim Mrtka

Here along the Lake For some reason that I am not privy to, the Goo Goo Dolls were on stage to read Buffalo’s first round, ninth selection overall, and to stand next to the draftee, not the players family, friends, or mentors, I have never before seen a team use a locally famous rock band as a presenter.

This Czechian player is impressive size wise, 6′ 6″, 218 pounds, right-handed defenseman, reportedly only became serious about hockey in the last few seasons but has developed quickly with high potential and young enough to steadily improve.

The Sabres have also signed RW Quinn to a two-year contract, along with trading for defenseman Kesselring, highlighting that our GM is not sitting on his good intentions but getting things done and making the Sabres a better team.
