Buffalo Sabres' First-Round Pick Zach Benson Impresses with All-Around Skills
The Buffalo Sabres selected Zach Benson with the 13th overall pick in the NHL Draft. The team had been tracking Benson closely for two seasons and were impressed by his offensive talent, competitiveness, intelligence, and work ethic. Benson's former teammate, Peyton Krebs, endorsed him as a future fit for the Sabres' locker room. The team attempted to trade up and later trade back into the first round but were unsuccessful. The Sabres now hold seven picks for Day 2 of the draft.
