N4ZZY Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 The very least Benning is filling a need for the organization. Defensive depth has been an issue. And he's picked a dman in every round if I'm not mistaken. Kind of following the draft this morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24K PureCool Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Well it is obvious that the Canucks scouts don't give a s**t about height. I'm fine with that (as long as it is not a goaltender). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrago Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 The more defensemen we draft the better. Don't know anything about this kid atm. But welcome aboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
