Kulich has more goal scoring upside but idk about offensive upside. Zach Benson feeds pucks into HD areas with a skill the Sabres haven't yet capitalized on. Benson is superior defensively. 

I like Kulich a lot and his skating is faster than Benson which gives him an advantage. 

Having both on the team makes my pants get bigger.

Yup, no thought to roster fit whatsoever.

Kevyn is the worst NHL GM since Mad Mike's reign of error on LI came to an end.

But, but you can sit Bryson out and he doesn't complain or get an attitude.  The players like him.

We probably shouldn't ignore the fact Kulich got 9 assists, often playing with the league's best goal scorer and is a year older than Benson.

D3 seasons of 1st-round Sabre forwards:

• Reinhart 79 17/30/47 -11
• Eichel 67 25/39/64 -25
• Nylander 12 2/2/4 -4
• Mittelstadt 31 4/5/9 -2
• Cozens 79 13/25/38 -19
• Quinn 74 14/23/37 -7
• Kulich 62, 15/9/24 -4
• Benson ???

And just because I noticed him:

• Power 76 6/27/33 +8

He's right there with Sam Reinhart in terms of the 2nd-most advanced guy behind Eichel. That +8 really sticks out. Something to think about.

 

Power’s +8 is a bit nullified by his  D+4 season  79, 7/33/40, -13
