The 5-foot-10, 159-pound forward notched a Winnipeg Ice team-leading 98 points in 60 games this past season.
The Buffalo Sabres have selected forward Zach Benson No. 13 overall. Benson most recently played for the Winnipeg Ice of the Western Hockey League .
The Langley, British Columbia, playmaker is an elite passer with incredible vision. He is one of the most innovative players in this draft class and uses that intelligence on both sides of the puck. He has the potential to be an elite forward with solid two-way tendencies who can score at a point-per-game pace.
During the Ice’s postseason run in the WHL playoffs, Benson registered 17 points in 15 games; during the 2021-22 season, he tallied 23 points in 15 games. He is intense and competitive, which should make him an attractive player to bring into any organization.
