100%. They are getting a really good player who will contribute, very soon be it Power or Beniers
you can do much worse than having Dahlin and Power on your top 2 pairs
I would have said the same prior to the Worlds. He has shown that he is a professional already. Started out as the teams 5/7 Dman. Gallant has quickly moved his up to #1
the kid is Legit
when was the last time a draft eligible freshman put up 1 point per game, like Beniers did this year?
I believe it was Jack Eichel.
WIll Beniers ever be a 90point player in NHL? probably not but nothing wrong with being a Bergeron, ROR style #1 Center.
Definitely not advocating for the Sabres to take a goalie with their top 3 pick but it’s interesting that 5 of the 8 goalies left were taken in round 1
another was taken in the 2nd
Im probably really late to this but wasn’t not fixing the goaltending his biggest blunder?
Hutton was one of the worst (if not the worst) goalie in the league and he didn’t upgrade.
maybe but we have to admit Matthews has been put in a better situation from Eichel with Supporting cast.
I think Marner is a great player but try to find one puck battle he won in the entire 7 game series.
As many delay of the game penalties as he has playoff goals...thats damning
whos are you picking, assuming Sabres draft 3 and Powers and Beneirs are gone?
Im firmly on the Brandt Clarke train. RHD mobile, intelligent, offensive upside.
