The Buffalo Sabres just locked up defenseman Benson to a long-term extension, signaling confidence in his playoff surge and potential to evolve into a 20-25 goal scorer. While his current 13-goal output is modest, his gritty play and fan appeal make him a key piece. But with big losses like Byram and Tuch, the team faces a 44-goal deficit — a gap Benson alone can’t fill. Young prospects like Helenius, Stlund, and Cooley are expected to step up, but if they don’t deliver, the Sabres may be forced to trade draft picks or pursue free agents to stay competitive for a wildcard spot. The offseason is shaping up to be active — and crucial — for their future.
