Dies anybody have a list of point per game college freshman forwards who were selected near the top of the draft the past 10 years or so?

If that's the case then Kent Johnson ranks ahead of Beniers.

Sold. Still room on the Team Beniers bandwagon? Oh wait, Power was a +18.... nevermind.

I have, what's your point? Lemme guess, Power will be a bust because Logan Brown was a bust? Ok.

And if Beniers was 6'4, 215 he'd be consensus #1. But that's not the case, in this universe Power if big and has a crazy reach which he uses to his advantage to defend.... so yeah, it matters.

Kent Johnson has more skill than Beniers IMO. Beniers was the 3rd leading scorer on Michigan. I do like his game alot, but he's not a can't miss elite forward prospect... he could very easily be the next Drew Stafford or Brian Holzinger.

Anders Bjork part duex

Probably atleast 7.

If they keep McCabe and Risto 🤮, then I'm OK with Beniers as the pick. If McCabe ain't coming back and Risto is moved, then you have to go Power.

The difference in agility and quickness is quite simply an optical illusion due to their relative physical statures.

IMO the Eichel situation needs to be settled before hiring a coach. It changes the direction of team and what type of coach will be affective. And I'm sure some of the veteran candidates have told KA that if Eichel's out, then I'm out.

Nah. Do better.

Third option... amputate

AM&A's

I think Beniers and Power are both excellent prospects. That said, I think it's more difficult to find a defenseman with Power's abilities and hockey sense at his age, than it is a forward. And for that reason, all things being equal, I would take Power over Beniers but I won't be upset if Beniers is the pick. What concerns me is Adam's statement about taking the the guy who will blossom in 3, 4, 5 years from now... and if that's the case somebody like Edvinsson might be in play.

Yeah that's pretty terrible... replace Eichel with Reinhart and Risto, and now you're talking.... but I doubt CBJ moves on that.

They should have had a re-scan, consulted with the doctors and have a clear course of action by now. That said, the fact they've been silent tells me there is no surgery planned, it's healing on schedule and they'll continue with conservative treatment. KA won't want to embarrass Jack by coming out and saying... "see I told you so, no surgery, you're healing on schedule... be patient". If the scan looked bad, then they would've come out and said they're moving forward w/ surgery and give timelines on his recovery... but that hasn't been the case.

Power > Beniers tho 🙂

Hockey IQ, skating, passing, vision, offensive output.

Beniers looked very good against U20's, he's a nice prospect for sure, wouldn't be upset if he's the pick at #1.

sooooo... he's a quiter? smh

We're just spitballing here. I'm on team Power and believe he's the pick.

what is it?
