NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKBW) — The Buffalo Sabres have selected Zach Benson with the 13th pick in the NHL draft.
Bringing more depth to the forwards they already have is what the Sabres hope to be a part of a new era of hockey in Buffalo.
Benson makes up for his small size with his skillset. The Winnipeg standout was linemates with Sabres prospect Matt Savoie who scored a team-high 98 points.
Benson is also familiar with Peyton Krebs' game from his time in Winnipeg.
