Last summer the Buffalo Sabres drafted three players from Sweden, including a certain Rasmus Dahlin, in a draft where they had six picks when it was over and done. Three draft picks from Sweden in a draft from the same team may not be that big of an abnormality, the very same Sabres did it in 2016 too.
In total there have been 22 Swedish players picked in the NHL Entry Draft by Buffalo and there have been some hits and lots of misses. Rasmus Dahlin looks like the franchise defenseman we all wanted and we all remember Jhonas Enroth and Henrik Tallinder, three picks who turned out to be good or even better for the Sabres and the jury is still out on a handful of names.
