Phew what a steal at 13 my goodness. I really wanted Simashev but this is a great pick wow
A real talent but Munchkin City again. Our prospects have no size or grit.
Thrilled that he fell to us, didn't think he would. We're going to roll out 3 strong scoring lines…just like we did in '06/'07.
Can't believe he was still available at 13. Everyone had this kid marked for top 10. I wanted a power forward but this is an excellent pick.
Super excited for this pick …. Tbh really think Rosen/Ostlund gets moved tomo or near future for a dman … hopeful we trade olofson Rosen 2nd for pesce (w extension) …: hoping for pesce and tanev or one of them and Freddy Anderson / Jarry .::: this team is going to be scary in a few years if not next year
Oh these kids are going to be fun to watch develop! Adams pulls off another fortunate draft at this point, but now needs to cut out some of the dead wood that is affecting the further growth of the team. To me, there's at least 3 guys that fit into that category and can be better off used as a means to burn in a trade and, to continue the thread, possibly light a fire amongst the remaining guys after their time here is history. Go Sabres, WOOHOO
Fabulous pick
I can’t believe the Yotes took But after already drafting Simichev
Seeing comments on other sites having a issue with Benon's size & saying the Sabres needed to draft size. Because of the run on defensemen & the "prototypical center" Benson dropped into the Sabres lap. So happy GMKA pulled the trigger on drafting Benson 👍
I wanted a blue liner as well. Oh well more offensive skilled players 😅
Such a STEAL!
Draft some defencemen tomorrow. SIZE. Not all of them, but a at least a couple. Someone like Cleveland.
I wanted Wood and he was available! Wanted bigger. Let's see what they do with #39 and #45
Craig Button is the type of guy that would give Connor McDavid a 5th place Hart Trophy vote. I can never take anything he says seriously.
Great job getting this out so quickly… You got Blue and Gold in your veins… Go Blades…
I say there a good chance that Maxim Strbak and Andrew Gibson will be available at #39. Both are pretty big, physically defensive minded players. Not the highest ranked players, but they fit the criteria of what the Sabres need and could be a couple of those second round surprise players.
Honestly Adams could have had his choice with atleast 5 guys I've been watching when it got to his pick. So happy with Benson to have instant chemistry and will likely be an instant linemate once again with Savoie. Honestly this kid is better than Savoie in my books. When the camera showed the Sabres table, I noticed no one was talking. So this was a shoe-in pick for Adams. For the draft being a forward heavy draft. 3 teams picked D Men before it got to Buffalo which opened up the door to having alot of choice when Buffalo picked. I was surprised Fantilli didnt get 2nd tbh. This draft really had 2 or 3 first overall picks that could have gone that way if it was any other year other than Bedards.
What a steal imo. Very young kid, could turn into a beast once he got muscle.
Adams is so calm at the draft table..he doesn’t force a thing and a really good prospect falls to him
The Eastern Conference Finals are going to be Sabres / Devils for the next decade. Well done Buffalo. July 1st should be a good day too. Sabres should consider Ryan Graves on Saturday. Age 28, 6'5", 220 lbs. Not sure what he would cost, we were paying him 3.1M last three years. Can't afford him now.
Drafting "size" or "toughness" is very difficult IMO. Roam you said it yourself……thats what the later rounds are for. 1st round is for top end skill players. Easier to trade/FA acquire big guys who are proven players. 👍👍
I was kinda hoping for some size in this pick, but I think like you said you can get that tomorrow… Way to predict the pick Wayne. That's why your channel is the best!
If anyone who will be traded for depth it’s ostlund or Rosen. No way they split up Savoie and Benson.
Ok when's the opener? Can't wait when we play the knights with Levi in net our next Hasek ,IL say it
Is it his size,why he was still avail.,we need grit I think we're gonna see Dahlin break out next season same with #24, he's got 40 in him and he's mean and mature now ewewwww can't wait we have a Hasek now ,were good
The more I read about Benson, the more I'm liking the pick. Benson is small, but still is willing to go into the dirty areas of the ice, so he plays bigger than his frame. And he is considered the "best defensive forward" in the draft.
The next Jeff Skinner. Was hoping for Simshev, Wood or one of the other defencemen. Did not expect him to slide.
KA is going to have one helluva time in a couple years trying to find ways to keep a healthy prospect cycle, who to trade and who to keep. This is how dynasties are made. Seriously, we almost have too much talent right now. And for some of these guys we will be getting even more 1st rounders. Ride the wave.
The Sabres might have a potential superstar that dropped to them at #13 overall.
Excellent pick by Adams. Sabres are stacked and ready for the future… now!
This kid is a top 5 pick in this draft
Craig needs to button his lip. …. Moron.
Always take the best player available
I see Zach Benson and I think of Brad Marchand of our Hated Bruins! WOW!!! What a steel.
Did we just draft the next goalie phenom in Scott Ratzlaff?
I know fans like to say we are a few years away but could we have a breakout year like 2005-06 it’s more than possible I’d like to know your thoughts
He was also Matt Savoie line mate
