Just because Lucic was willing to waive for vancouver doesn't mean Benning went hard after him, he probably only inquired about him.
Kylington and Roy aren't even that impressive in terms of talent when you compare them to a guy like Boeser.
Benning is trying to create a TEAM here not just a bunch of skilled individuals. So for us to have a team we need players that can play well together, that's why when he makes his picks they are for players that will fit the team build. Hard working, big and strong players.
