sweetlou Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 I know there have been some pretty good players to wear the number 9 for the Sabres over the years, but 20 years from now Benson will be theist to wear the number!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyK Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 Hello, Scott Arneil!!!! I'm going to google the name and number now to see if I am correct and check his stats!!! He was a good all around player, but lets hope Benson is better! Go Sabres! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres73 Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 I know it's exciting and he looks great, but let's settle down a bit. He hasn't played one minute of regular season action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashsabre Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 I think the fact they handed him #9 off the hop was a big sign of their thoughts on him and plans for him. He wasn’t skating around camp wearing #85. The kid seems about as likeable as you can imagine. From a hard working carnival family and as personable as can be. High skill but works his can off every shift. He will definitely be a fan favourite in short order. The best quote I heard about Benson during the draft buildup was “You can put Benson on any line and he will make that line the best line” They really did get a gift with this kid falling to #13. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted October 6, 2023 Report Share Posted October 6, 2023 It is really a shame that Dudley left in the prime of his career at the age of 26(after 74-75 season) to go to the WHA. I don't remember much about the circumstances other than $$$. He was not the same player when he returned in 1979. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm...Benson will be theist? That's an interesting take...do you have any evidence to back up this claim? Do you know what church he goes to or what denomination he is? Is he up for sainthood?
