Savoie centering Benson and TBD

Well, Adams was absolutely right. His job is hard.

I’m absolutely shocked that the Sabres neither moved up, moved down or moved the pick for a D man.

Welp. Told ya they like Benson.

Still surprised it wasn't asp
- TheSabresTaco

I wanted both, can we move up to 14 for ASP?

Yup, best forward on the board. Smart pick
- Mentalorgasm5

Will see

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

I have to think something will give here. Unless we're doing 5 forward lines.

Not totally against this but uhhh...

That's why we will only need 4 D

Anyone expecting a trade was insane to begin with.

We all know what this team was going to do.

Love the pick.

I like this pick a lot better than the Savoie selection.

I might have liked Chychrun more. Idk.

Isn’t it better when you get the player you were going to trade up for anyways ?

I know you're not a Savoie fan.

Who was your pick last year?

Something has to give. Maybe part of the reason they are waiting on Mitts?

you mean like all the other teams that traded in the first round?

Seriously, they took the best forward available. Not sure how someone can be mad with that.

Didn’t I hear adams say it’s hard to trade for defenseman. Then drafts like all forwards. I wasn’t a math major but something doesn’t add up. I hope they have a plan.

Benson (5-10, 170) has elite-level hockey IQ with a work ethic to match. His creativity and playmaking helped him lead best team in the Western Hockey League with 98 points (36 goals, 62 assists) in 60 games, a team that featured two first-round NHL draft picks, Matt Savoie (Buffalo Sabres) and Conor Geekie (Arizona Coyotes). Once he develops more physically, Benson has the chance to be a top-line playmaker.


hE's sMAll. 🤣

dont hate the pick

honestly thought he was going top 10

If all else fails, just say Ryan Johnson is the plan

Best playmaker since since Mcdavid. Pretty decent
