Sabres Draft Morozov for Big Center Depth

Buffalo Sabres shock with 20th pick: Ilia Morozov, a towering center from Miami University, brings elite potential and a breakout college season to their roster. Despite a slight scoring dip late in the year, he still tallied 20 points in 36 games and led his team’s historic turnaround from 3 to 18 wins. With an August birthday, he’s still developing—skating and faceoffs need work—but his athleticism, interview skills, and NHL Combine performance wowed scouts. Morozov’s size and offensive upside give the Sabres a rare big center to pair with their smaller, skilled prospects, and he’s thrilled to join the Buffalo faithful.
