DrChill Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 If true about Bennett, some people will see that as a lack of dedication, I work with young athletes and the golfers can do more than 3 pull-ups in proper form. He could drop.... Maybe to 6.... Set him up with Sedin boys for the summer, training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumerman77 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 It wasn't that he couldn't do any. He did 3 but each one didn't qualify due to bad form. So while still pretty weak at least he can do a few, just not with good form It shows immaturity to me. His team was eliminated from the playoffs two full months ago. That is two full months to train he obviously didn't have very good guidance. The combine tests were well know to anyone who bothered investigating them.

Outsiders Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Virtanen looks so comfortable talking to all the teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyllenhaal Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I really doubt that is true. He plays in a mens league, i'm sure he can do a pull-up. I dont know why I said Bennett plays in a mens league. I thought we were talking about Kapanen for some reason... Nope, it is true. He confirms it and TSN has footage of it. But what does that ultimately mean? Pretty much nothing. Yea, found the video of him saying he cant do it. http://video.oilers.nhl.com/videocenter/console?id=622708&catid=4 Nick Ritchie interview http://video.oilers.nhl.com/videocenter/console?id=622716&catid=4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ossi Vaananen Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 :S I think it drops Bennett's stock if he can't manage a pull up... ya, it's not completely relevant to the game, but this is a guy who despite his skill is prided on his pushback. How hard can you push back if you can't pull up? We should still take him if he falls, but I think this destroys any possibility of him going 1st. It's a shame.

Junkyard Dog Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Imagine how dangerous of a player Bennett will be when he gets bigger. Bennett is still one of the best players in the draft despite his physique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tangerines Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Nylander interview http://video.oilers.nhl.com/videocenter/console?id=622710&catid=4 Thank you for the Vids! It's funny how some of these young players remind me of some of the players on the Canucks when they get interviewed in terms of demeanour, and the way they speak lol. Ritchie is Kassian, Nylander is like Daniel and Henrik(He even scratches his neck and face when answering a question), and MDC is like Lou lol(ex Canuck).

It is possible but might not deter teams from him. This might be a bigger plus actually, because that means there is plenty of growth to occur. It he is able to be so dominant in the OHL against pretty good competition while not being super well trained, imagine what he could be like when he is fully developed and trained? There is room to grow and scouts/teams are looking not only for NHL ready players but players that can grow in many ways. Not saying that not being able to do any pull ups is a good thing, but it certainly isn't terrible either. Once Bennett puts on some major strength and muscle to his body he will be a stud of a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangerines Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Nylander models his game after P Kanehttp://video.oilers.nhl.com/videocenter/console?id=622716&catid=4 He mentions that he has a pretty good Idea of where he is going. What I gather from this response is that one of the top 6 teams drafting may have mentioned that they are going to pick him if he's available. I'm pretty sure Florida, Buff, and Edm will pass which leaves Cal, NY, and us. I have a strong feeling it's us, or NY that will select him.
