The Top 25 Under 25 is a collaboration by members of the Die By The Blade community. It was a combination of staff writers and over 600 readers that ranked Buffalo Sabres players under the age of 25 as of August 1, 2022. Each participant used their own metric of current ability and production to rank each player.
Goaltender Erik Portillo is tied for 13th in our Top 25 Under 25, ascending in the rankings from last year. The Michigan goalie became a star after the departure of Strauss Mann, taking on the starting role with great success.
