I totally don't regret to have picking Zach Benson at 3 with Columbus! So far he have 2 points in 4 NHL games with Buffalo. This guy will be a stud!!

Buffalo got at steal with Benson

 

[KevSkillz4]

Buffalo got at steal with Benson

For sure. IMO, he is a 100% top 5 talent in this draft. I know that I draft him ahead of Carlsson or Michkov, but Benson hard work, talent and his attitude make believe that he is going to have a amazing career.

Gotta think it will be 9 games and back to junior for him

Usually a good pick around 13. We should be drafting around there this draft. Hope there is a Benson or Boldy or Charlie McAvoy around this draft
