Zach Benson has been super impressive through two seasons as a teenager who isn't big enough or fast enough for the NHL, yet has found a way to make the Sabres the better team when he's out there on the ice. What makes Benson so valuable as a defender and how his hockey IQ creates so much potential offensively, combined with a lack of ability to score goals makes Benson a very tough player to evaluate.

When will Benson start to put the points up? Where should he play in the Sabres lineup this season if he still can't score? And should the Sabres pay him if he does have a big season offensively before he gets too expensive?
