I don't give Peterka enough love. Dude is a 2nd round pick who is just clutch. He's good everywhere and he's a got a deceptive shot. He might be the perfect compliment on that top line.

I think Benson will be most improved but ppl will say Quinn by using point totals.

Oh idk, I have a sneaky suspicious feeling that there might be a 19yr old our team with a hof chance.

We won a game we should win. Good, onto the next.

One of the very smartest players I've ever watched.

Zach Benson hasn't met an opposing player he won't forecheck

That Peterka guy is pretty good

It's not missing at all. Look at all the bolded players. You thought all them would be HoF candidates when they were those ages? I doubt that. So you're biasing your own analysis because you have years of more data to make your claim.

Then the premium is theoretically what you used to get from addidas if you bought authentic I guess.

$425 for the new blank "authentic jersey"

I think Jack Quinn will be better than Cozens this season.

That's an AHL roster. Buffalo needs to bury them.

I'm not. That might be the best line defensively and good luck pushing it around physically. Might not be the biggest but Quinn and Benson have a lot of IQ mixed with their grit.

Benson is already one of the best defensive forwards we have. The AHL won't teach him things he can't handle at the NHL level. But I agree, he definitely won't be in Jr's. I've seen that pop up a little here and there and it's nuts. Benson was exceedingly good to end his rookie year. I think the Benson to Jr thing comes from recency bias and overhyped Kulich. It will end once Benson starts playing.

Poitras is a 2004 bday and already 20. Benson is a 2005 bday and won't be 20 until May. He's not eligible for the AHL and honestly, he's too good for AHL. Kulich was not a Canadian Jr player so he's been AHL eligible since he was drafted. The rule is in place to keep talented 18 and 19yr olds in the Canadian jrs.

Tbh, you're comparing a 20yr old Kulich with 3 pro seasons to a 19yr old Benson with 1. Yet Benson is still better and personally with the exception of goals, will continue to be better. That said Kulich has lots of top 6 potential.

Benson

They also aren't good?

Odd request but sure:

Well?

If this team isn't in a playoff position at Christmas, it was another failed offseason.

Yup. Rogers will have trouble moving the pocket and extending plays. We saw some of that with Brady at the end too. NE is just a bad team so didn't effect him enough.
