Jauronimo Posted 12 hours ago Posted 12 hours ago https://www.eliteprospects.com/news/fantasy-hockey/fantasy-hockey-feature-zach-benson-growing-in-a-dark-space Some really encouraging stats showing Benson's development that would be easily missed. I will admit, neither his defensive or offensive prowess really jumps out at me as a casual observer. I know he's a gifted playmaker and has incredible hockey sense but I thought his physical development mitigated much of his talent and did not at all appreciate how impactful his play has been. Especially as he has played mostly with 3rd line talent. 1 1 Quote

Mike Harrington: What impact does this run of good hockey have on the Sabres next season? "In 2021-22, the first full year under coach Don Granato, the Sabres were 18-32-8 before finishing the season 14-7-3. The ’22-23 team endured that ugly eight-game losing streak in November and missed out by a point after going 10-5-2 in the last 17 games. Last year’s team was on the playoff periphery and never really got close thanks to two losses in Detroit in the late going. But they still finished 10-7-1 before moving on from Granato and hiring Lindy Ruff. And this year’s club, of course, had that 13-game winless streak in December and went on an 0-5-1 slide around the trade deadline before finally showing what everyone had hoped for over the last 12 games. Too bad it took 60-plus games for the full package to finally be on display." Okay, so are they supposed to lose? Quote

No, I think his point is that the Sabres have historically been unable to carry over late-season success into the next year. I think the majority of fans understand this, but does the front office?

I think the majority of fans understand this, but does the front office? Here's how I look at it. The Bills went 17 years without a playoff game. And no one thought they were making the playoffs when they finally did. Quote
