They can step into professional hockey sooner and begin their development with players from previous draft classes. Next year there are going to be a bunch of players from the 2015 and 16 drafts who will be turning 20 and turning pro together. The biggest (pun intended) find was Nikita Tryamkin in 2014, who was 20 and on his 3rd and final run through the draft. It's hard not to like what Benning is doing in terms of building through the draft. That does assume they're ever ready for pro hockey, at least at an effective level when considering the AHL. If they work out, you're absolutely right their development time could be slightly shortened - but there's still the possibility they need a bit more time to mature as players as well.

It's hard not to like what Benning is doing in terms of building through the draft. Selecting draft re-entry players has been one of the measures that Benning has taken. He has also been scouting and signing college free agents (Stecher) and trading for high draft picks who have under performed for one reason or another on other teams (Baertschi, Granlund, Vey, Etem). Many of these players are under sized but not all obviously (Tryamkin). It is safe to say that these selections have been long shots but some of them have been successful.

I agree, considering what prospects Benning had when he came in he has revitalized our team. A future number one goalie and probably a full Dcorp already. Thats pretty good work.

Subban is more talented offensively. He's also younger and still has time to improve his defensive side. It's not a terrible stretch to think he could end up being the better player in 3'ish years.

Both are moving targets. Stecher will get better too, although he is 2 years older. Stecher is already good defensively. It's not as if they're going to discard Subban. In 2 years, we may be having a different conversation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a bit of a stretch J.R. as he hasn't had a chance to show he can reproduce that level of talent in the NHL. Stecher has already proved it. I'm not saying he won't, I'm just saying the NHL is a much harder environment to shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2 years, we may be having a different conversation Stecher is only one year older than Subban. there is really no comparison between the two. Stecher is and always will be a better NHL player than Subban is an AHL player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
