We are already super losers. Record setters, FFS. That’s why I don’t understand the angst over “what if prospect X becomes awesome somewhere else”. I don’t give a damned about prospect X being good for someone else a few years down the line. I care about this team right now playing its way back to respectability.
I would trade just about any prospect we have and have no issue trading our #11 overall pick.

His 26 EVP was 201st among NHL forwards last season who played 41 or more games. Still 4th line production.
If there are 32 teams, and each team has a least 12 forwards, that means there are 384 forwards if all teams were playing give or take a few. That also means the top 1-96 would be the top 75-100th percentile, the 97-192 the 50-74th percentile, the 193-288 the 25-49th percentile, and the 289-384 the bottom 1-24th percentile or roughly 96 1st line, 97-192 2nd line, 193-288 3rd line, and 289 to 384 4th line forwards. While this is rough math, Zach Benson is closer to the 2nd line group than the 4th line group.
Also saying someone was 201 without telling us 201 out of what? is almost useless. I graduated 201 in my class sounds terrible until I say my class was 20,000 ppl.
Benson was tied for 219 out of 403 forwards who played at least 41 NHL games with 30 points. That puts him firmly into 3rd line territory. Benson was 225 in ppg (0.42ppg) which also leaves him in the 3rd line territory approaching the 2nd line threshold. Not bad for an 18yr old kid but certainly far and away above the 4th line level of production. He would need to drop about 0.1 ppg to get into the top of the 4th line land (287 overall) and if he went up a 0.1ppg would be firmly in 2nd line territory (171 overall).

Beating the Bills in the playoffs and winning Super Bowls, that's what the Chiefs do. Hard not to care about those. 😉
Has literally nothing to do with the conversation or what happened last night at all.

No I usually read a lot into their media and have posted my theories on this a lot tbh
I just am convinced it’ll be Dahlin here, I laid out my reasons upthread.
if I’m wrong so be it. I just hope I’m not
I feel same. Think it will be Dahlin but Tuch is possible.

Of course they don't, but they are also constructed more carefully than you think and they are designed to convey what the team wants to convey.
So then you can say they ask Tuch to be there why? They want him as the face of the franchise? The boyhood fan story made good? etc. So why wouldn't they want that as the captain as well??? To want the first part but not the last part would make no sense to me - but then it is the Sabres.
Did he? Did he take his big ass house with him (leave Benson the keys?) Why would a grown man rush home to mommy and daddy as soon as the season ended? If he did, maybe that's a good reason not to be captain right there.
Just quoting for posterity

Good thread
I agree with the sentiment of both Liger’s and GA’s posts, tbh. Benson was certainly great relatively (to other Sabres, to rookies in general), and yes, the former part of that relatively is damning regarding the roster we iced this season. Of course, none of that reflects poorly on Benson who was nothing but a bright spot.
No, they shouldn’t game plan on Benson routinely skating in the T-6 next season
Can I ask why?
he had 11g, 19a compared to JJP with 12g, 20a in his rookie year and JJP was in the top 6 in year two and flourished.
-
Or he was the only guy around because the season is over and Dahlin has already gone home to Sweden.
