So are you Sending him down. What kind of message would this send ?
I got a few Pitchforks ready early!

Now compare TOI per forward.

It's great he doesn't look out matched in the NHL, it's abysmal that he is, by measure of this stat, the most potent offensive player for the Sabres.

He's just fun to watch, how that little sprite wins all those board battles is beyond my understanding.

good news is that they can't defer this obvious decision any farther than Saturday afternoon.

60 more if im coach

Jets were a perfect game to let Brady get a Rythum going and work on things. There Defense is good enough to give a Challenge, but the Offense sucks so bad that you get that time to work things out.

Why aren’t we sending Levi down? Why aren’t we scratching Okposo, Girgensons, E Johnson on a semi consistent bases?
Why can’t we mix up the PP unit?
Why does Okposo play on the PP?
I’m just scratching the surface on the reasons why Benson will get sent down if he does

They should show the PP units Benson and what he does. The kid is constantly moving his feet, always trying to give the passer a option. You can't stand still and Benson and Dahlin are the only 2 constantly in motion.

Dahlin xGF% with:
Clifton 66.5%
Power 54.9%
RJ 51.6%
Samuelsson 46%

watching him has been a lot of fun. he's very dynamic in different facets of the game. So I guess it's... good and bad?

He is a good player, he is entertaining to watch because of how poorly the rest of the team is playing. I would like to see how he would fit in the run and gun pace the forwards played last year.

He should stay, his play has been better than most.

I don't have fun watching 1 player excel on a failing team...I watched a few better players than Benson come and go already for this organization.

Well 1 is a Phenom and the others are 1yr deals so they don't matter.

Coaching needs to be better.

Players will do what the coaches ask of them. In theory

Yeah, but he doesn't seem to be able to consistently handle anymore minutes than 3rd pair.

Top 2 lines are dragging a lot of dead weight. This is big problem for us.

Greenway was useful when he played with some actual players and not Krebs and Olofsson. And then you have Girgs, Okposo who are literally shot.

Dont play Kyle 13+ minutes and maybe make sure he has a couple days between games for some rest. He was decent in Winnipeg.

Little sarcasm on my part , just keep him away from Ej at even strength and imo he should at the least be serviceable.

Agreed, it won't change though. The logical reasoning would be the GM used these old farts as place holders and he is burning this season to let his prospects grow and slowly infuse them into the lineup starting in January when the team is out of contention.

The coach is trying to win, but he is failing at balancing winning and development. When it fails, will he just go back to being a prospect whisperer?

The positive from this season so far is Adams has not called 498799586232312194695793414510642256972356913476591347610374560134765103947561034956810945610495613094650 press conferences.

Better options to balance out his 6, Donnie just doesn't seem to trust some yet.

He neeeds a forward worth playing to force his hand on sitting one of Clifton/EJ
