"Buffalo Sabres' Aggressive Move: Selecting Zach Benson in 2023 NHL Draft"
Zach Benson, the Buffalo Sabres' first-round pick in the NHL draft, is a talented left wing who finished third in points in the Western Hockey League. Despite his smaller size, Benson is known for his playmaking abilities, particularly on the power play. He was once a teammate of No. 1 overall pick Connor Bedard and played alongside Matt Savoie, another Sabres draft pick. Benson's family has deep connections to the Canadian carnival industry, often traveling during the summers for hockey camps while finding creative ways to stay active in smaller towns without ice rinks.
