Opening Night Roster now

Dude. Benson is the real deal

@dsjfresh12 @perrymd66 @hockeymancb77 Geesh Zach Benson #9, this is all just last night's highlights of him, all from just 1 game! Kid was so so good!

😂

If you're going to show video of the games, you could at least turn the volume on

.@craigrivet52 I was with you on not rushing this kid.. Now what? It's one pre-season game, but he looks more defensively reliable than most Sabres forwards. O-zone intelligence is off the charts. Strong body.

More than anything, I think this comes down to hockey IQ. He could see where the D men were, as 3 were in a triangle around him and the other was in front of the goalie, so he knew Skinner was open on that wing, making it not just a slick move, but a safe one, as well.

Typical Sabres pick….small. Another reason they wouldn’t be able to compete in the playoffs
