With their final pick in the 2015 NHL Draft, the Buffalo Sabres have selected defenseman Ivan Chukarov from the Minnesota Wilderness of the NAHL.
The left-handed Chukarov stands at 6'2'', and is a bit older than most prospects at 20 years of age. He put up nice numbers this year in Minnesota, 12-31-43 in 55 games, and will be attending UMass in the fall.
"A mobile, puck-moving defenseman that can play both sides of the puck" -UMass HC John Micheletto. Chukarov +38 last year for the Wilderness

Chukarov had the 4th most points for defensemen in the league during the regular season.
