Buffalo Sabres get bigger on the blueline, selecting Radim Mrtka ninth in the NHL Draft
Locked On Sabres - Daily Podcast On The Buffalo SabresAbout this episode
The Buffalo Sabres select defenseman Radim Mrtka with the ninth pick of the NHL Draft. A big 6'6" right shot defenseman is a perfectly defendable pick by Kevyn Adams and the Sabres front office, but was it a need for the team? Sneaky Joe argues that the Sabres actually were lacking on the blueline in their organizational pipeline, and Mrtka instantly becomes their best prospect defenseman. What are Mrtka's best attributes? What's his background? And how long until Mrtka will likely be in the NHL? Plus, should we be worried Bo Byram hasn't been traded yet? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
