After a seemingly successful draft weekend, the Buffalo Sabres are now able to gather most of the prospects from one of the best pipelines in the NHL at their development camp. Prior to the 2014 NHL draft, Hockey's Future rated the Sabres' pool of prospects as the best in the league.
Practices began on Monday, but the big event will be Tuesday night's scrimmage at 7 p.m. ET. That is when the "veterans" will be able to show how far they have come and the new guys will provide glimpses of their upside.
