Ossi Vaananen Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Some nepotism maybe? Former 6th rounder 2012, taken by the Bruins while Benning was there. Right shot defenseman, modest numbers in NCAA. http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=29261 Free prospect is free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 How is he a free agent exactly? He's only gone to college for 3 years no? Good news if true. He had pretty solid numbers in his 14/15 season. Teammate of Gaudette's and obviously Benning would know his character pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Quote Talent Analysis Benning is the son of former NHL defenseman Brian Benning and the nephew of Canucks' GM Jim Benning. He is a rugged defensive defenseman with some offensive elements to his game. He has average height but is heavy and strong and can be a devastating hitter. His skating needs work and his overall game must continue to develop during his college career. His ability to step right into the lineup at Northeastern and play a key role in his first two seasons suggests he can be a late-round sleeper. Read more at http://www.hockeysfuture.com/prospects/matt-benning/#rimvoYC5TWb3a1o8.99 I like the heavy hitter part. Sounds like he could use a couple seasons in the AHL though.

From what my friends tell me, he's a big heavy kid that likes to play a big heavy game. Definitely has leadership skills, but for sure not the Captain Serious type-- he likes to keep things light in the locker room. I'll try to find out more when the semester starts which is 2 and a half weeks from now. Funny enough I have a friend who goes to BU and she was literately in the same class as Charles McAvoy last year in the Fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am guessing the Bruins decided not to include this guy in their list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
