Zach Benson and Josh Doan are DAWGS and critical pieces of the Buffalo Sabres core

The best two forwards for the Buffalo Sabres in the playoffs were Zach Benson and Josh Doan. Both scored important goals, made great plays as playmakers, and tirelessly outworked their opponent. Both players did that all season to earn long-term seven year contracts with the Sabres. Now that both are cornerstone players for the team, where do we go from here? Sneaky Joe believes there is an incredibly high offensive ceiling for Benson and defends the idea of him starting next season on the top-line with Tage Thompson. Benson is the best passing forward on the team and pairing him with the best goal scorer makes sense. Doan, meanwhile, should be in line for a role on the penalty kill and likely more ice-time at 5v5 with Alex Tuch out the door. Plus, a crazy three team trade idea where the Sabres get Connor Hellebuyck.
