@LLysowski I get that, but I think there’s a pretty big difference between the two considering savoie wasn’t playing pro in his draft year. Bjorck has played a full season at C against much stronger competition. I think that provides better insight for his potential in the NHL at C.
@MattKopnak Have we seen players committed to college going into the draft turn pro instead? Because the defensemen you’d want to take at 4 are committed.
@SabresLive Is there anyone left still complaining about Benson’s size?? If there are it’s now much easier to disregard their opinions. “Another small forward. Great pick Kevyn Adams 🤦♂️”. Same thing was said for Ostlund and Helenius. Kudos to Adams 👏
@talk_canadiens_ @pietrzyk_mike I like Mooney. I honestly thought he was 2nd round worthy. He’s a dawg, but Benson is a DAWG. Comparing the two and saying Mooney is better relative to age just doesn’t make sense.
@talk_canadiens_ @pietrzyk_mike Cool he made a couple big hits. But here’s the difference, Benson intercepts/blocks those passes and creates a turnover either leading to a scoring chance or gaining possession in the offensive zone. I really like Mooney but Benson is far more complete, making him better. Simple
@talk_canadiens_ @pietrzyk_mike Send Benson and Mooney into the corner for a puck and Benson is coming out with it 10/10 times lol. Mooney’s IQ and compete are not on par with Benson. May be a better skater but he isn’t more skilled. How do you think benson creates chances as a small, slow skater?? Skill+IQ
@Buccigross ❌This is not “Eastern Conference Power Rankings”.
✅This is “Eastern Conference Final Standings Prediction”.
I’m assuming the wrong phrasing was chosen just to rage bait fans of teams 3-5.
@CHurls13 I like OP but he seems to be so indecisive in the o-zone and I don't understand why he never shoots the puck. It's like he's limiting his own ability to create offense
@Sabrestalkv2 Who replaces Tuch if he's just used as an in house rental? Pretty hard to replace a 6'4" two-way winger who plays in all situations and has 8 years of pro experience. The other path is trading away guys in the bottom 6, like Greenway or Quinn.
@2ITB_Buffalo This guy is the biggest idiot out there. At one point he said Granato was giving Mitts second line minutes over Krebs at C because USA hockey favoritism, and not the fact that mitts just produced more offensively. He’s got s**t for brains. Obviously.
@JosephTLogan@ByMHarrington How’s that’s a good take? The Sabres have drafted 4 200 foot forwards in the first round in the last 3 drafts. Ostlund, Kulich, benson and Helenius.
