Benson is going through a nagging injury, which suggests why he hasn't been playing every game.

but don makes it sound like he wants him playing every game. they'll make a decision on him after game 9 (3 more).

levi practicing today.

and he's very aware of the poopty powerplay, but also focused hard on team defense and PK during camp. which, good. and it shows.

Benson looked completely out of play vs the avs on Sunday.

Send him back to juniors. I just don’t think he has the speed to keep up at the NHL level. He’s only 18. So not blaming him or saying he’s bad

Bring up kulich and see what he can do. He’s been amazing for roch. What more can he do?

This was an example of a game where the expected result was vastly different than the actual.

Half the team got caved. Overall I think Benson has acclimated pretty well. He can hold his own and I'm pretty excited about his future. He may need another year though.

Savoie has 2 games or until Saturday to remain in Rochester before the org needs an answer from the CHL

That is true about the Sabres being out skated. But I guess my point is.

The Sabres want playoffs. Kulich has done enough in the AHL to take bensons spot. Kulich is way more polished and physically ready. He could step in and help instead of being a developmental liability.

If this was last years team …. I would say let Benson and savoie go at it and give them playing time

And by no means do I think Benson is bad. He’s just young. Needs to add some muscle and speed and good to go

Pat Kane and Jack Quinn are the guys who will be here imo.

Benson back, Olofsson eventually out.

I think they want that Rochester group to marinate one more year (I don't really agree with it but whatever)

you're making assumptions even after watching them both face quasi-NHL competition in preseason like 4 weeks ago.

Not one of those guys (in roch rn) showed the Sabres they were ready to start here.

They'll almost assuredly get games. But we're looking at 24-25 for maybe a pretty hot 4 way between benson savoie kulich and rosen.

they could...

play benson wed, fri, sat, send him back and get savoie up here on sat when his stint expires for another 9 games, hopefully get exemption and i guess sign kane by the time they're done with savoie

yes savoie and benson could be on the roster at the same time but you're probably not playing them both in the same game. unless you sit krebs i guess. (frank) do i know.

You consistently make assumptions too, sometimes without looking things up.

Nobody, until his 9 NHL games are coming close to an end.

They have options that do not merit needing an exemption.

What a garbage take

He absolutely has the speed, he’s just a feisty little kid, took a couple bad penalties but my god you are wrong

He hasn’t been a revelation but he’s looked the part more than Krebs has

here ill be contextually correct.

the intended, active roster with quinn and comrie included is 24/23.

i am so very sorry i forgot.

They have another option that you are ignoring, and acting like it's something they're not considering, which you have no idea about.

yet the ducks have a better record than us

they played 3/8 at home

we played 6/9 at home


numbers are easy to spin either way


esp when we dominate colorado and calgary owned us

They owned Levi... We should have won that game
