Why This Years Draft Is Key For the Buffalo Sabres

Samuel Bennett

Sam Bennett is a player that come out of left field for me at the mid season rankings. He flew a bit under the radar when the season began and he wasn’t apart of any World Junior team or the top prospect game due to injury. However, he is certainly a player who has turned some heads for his play in the OHL.

Bennett will be that physical centre who will be hard to play against on the forecheck. He’s got a mean streak and at 6 feet 181 pounds, he can back up that mean streak. Don’t let his nastiness fool you, he has 66 points in 40 games this season with the Kingston Frontenacs so the kid can produce.
