This is back to back drafts a top 5 pick has fallen into the Sabres lap.

This was my dream scenario, now it’s a reality.

I don’t care he’s small, we just have a dozen of these type guys in our pool

He is
- SABRES 89

He's also an exceptional playmaker, but why would that matter?

Nah we dont have anyone with a strong playmaking profile. mostly shooters and weird fringe possession based allsvenskan guys.

Zach Benson was in everyone's Top 10.

Amazing pick

If they’re picked 13, how can they be a top 5 pick?

Barlow

Yup, best forward on the board. Smart pick

Have to like it, but that's gotta force a move soon. He might only need 1 more year.

The real issue with Benson, IMO (whatever thats worth), isnt the size, its that unlike most sabres draftees, hes not a particularly good skater, at least for guys who are 5'9.

So the staff are either very, very high on his playmaking ability. Or they think theres another gear to his skating.

He was better than Savoie in the playoffs though, no question.
