Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Didn't know they did , got any links to it ? :D I'm guessing they really like him because he was the first of a half dozen or so mid-1st to early 3rd round guys they were on the beat of. I honestly don't know enough of him to figure what it would take to get him. His name alone sounds imposing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 2014 NHL Draft Rankings: Top 30 OHL Players No. 1 – Sam Bennett ©, Kingston Frontenacs Bennett is an elite skater who has great acceleration and goes from 0-100 very quickly. He’s an excellent puck handler, and he has the ability to rush the puck end-to-end to create a scoring opportunity when necessary. He has a very high hockey IQ, makes smart decisions with the puck, and plays the game very fast. Bennett has a great release, and is his shot is both hard and accurate. He’s also a good playmaker, has great puck skills, and without the puck plays with a fiery edge. He plays a 200-foot game, and has potential to be a No. 1 center that many teams crave.

MattPie Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Just did some pull-ups. Thought I'd let everyone know. Show off, I can't do any (or at least couldn't last time I tried (and I can't imagine that has changed)). For awhile I was getting close (40% of body weight with one arm), but ended up hurting my left tricep and fell off the workout wagon. I like to "blame" my long arms for making the leverage less advantageous; I'm 6'2" (74") but my wingspan is something like 81". Go go Monkey Arms.

BOLD: you could even say acceleration is the definition of a rapid change in direction. Fairly, even in high school when I was 175 lbs I wore a 44 long jacket (I'm more like a 46-48 now, although that's determined more by my middle than shoulders). My finger tips are around 3" from my knee caps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottosmagic13 Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 I think they should report on jerk factor. The amount/how quickly that they can change their acceleration. "We proudly select..** ***....due his high jerk factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 @hfialkov: Panthers source tells Sun Sentinel if they don't like offers for No. 1 pick then most likely they'll go for D Aaron Ekblad #FlaPanthers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunkard Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) @hfialkov: Panthers source tells Sun Sentinel if they don't like offers for No. 1 pick then most likely they'll go for D Aaron Ekblad #FlaPanthers I hope so. I don't want to end up like Nashville and be much better on defense than offense. Give me whichever forward Murray feels is the best. Personally I lean towards Reinhart but I'd definitely love to find out who Murray prefers with Ekblad off the board.

Huckleberry Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) I'm guessing they really like him because he was the first of a half dozen or so mid-1st to early 3rd round guys they were on the beat of. I honestly don't know enough of him to figure what it would take to get him. His name alone sounds imposing. Well its someone i noticed alot in juniors, and if you can get a 1st rounder lets say 14 - 16 he should drop around there. He has some talent, but also competes on the ice from what i saw at juniors. but wouldn't excpect him to become more than a 2nd liner though. Most likeley ehlers and virtanen will be gone by then, Barbashev is kind off the the dark horse in this draft for me. That being said i was a fan off bennet untill i saw the combine video, not so much the pull ups , but his balance and composure that seemed to worry me. Reinhart and Draisaitl are now ahead of him for me. That being said he could just be a kid who still needs to learn his limitations.

dudacek Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Barbashev would be a heck of second pick, fits the winner mould. But they will have to move up to get him for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking just the opposite... for this year. I would love to see 6 SOLID D-men. Without addressing scoring, Buffalo could be in a similar position again next year and lock up the #1 or #2 in 2015 and then they can take all the O they want, beginning with McDavid.

26CornerBlitz Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Sam Bennett still living failed pull-up nightmare from NHL Combine Attention hockey world: Sam Bennett can now do a pull-up. Two, actually. This is significant because Bennett, the top rated hockey prospect in North America ahead of June’s NHL Entry Draft in Philadelphia, couldn’t do one at the NHL Scouting Combine last month. And this became news. National news. “Really didn’t think it was that big a deal until the next couple of days when it went crazy,” said Bennett on Monday, attending the Stanley Cup Final with other top prospects.
