Benson (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Friday, Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News reports.
Scouting Report
His ability to make plays with the puck is off the charts, but he is also a very responsible forward. He offsets a less-than-ideal frame for the National Hockey League with supremely good hockey sense and a knack for being in the right place at the right time. Throughout his career, he will have to prove he can withstand the rigors and physicality of the game at the highest level.
Long Range Potential: Excellent, all-around star forward.
