Buffalo Sabres draft Brendan Guhle with pick 51

The Sabres draft a defenseman in the second round to help refill the organizational pipeline.

With the 51st pick in the 2015 NHL Draft, the Buffalo Sabres have selected defenseman Brendan Guhle from Prince Albert in the WHL.

Guhle (pronounced GOO-lee) fills a big need in the Sabres pipeline not only as a big, physical defenseman, but as a left-handed shot. He stands at 6'2'' and plays a big physical game. Not necessarily by trucking guy on the ice, but more that he's built like a truck. He tied Jack Eichel at the combine with seven top-10 finishes in various events.
