Guest Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Hey guys, Just watched the video over at Sportsnet and it was nice to listen to Benning talk about the draft for a few minutes. Great questions asked that basically revealed this... Benning agrees with Matthews, Laine and Pool-Party as the top three picks and regards them all as franchise players. He also stated that they would be ready to step into the league next year and thinks they would be 15-20 goal scorers. Benning has one defensman in his top 6. He goes on to say that this mystery D-man is number 5 or 6 on his list. Solving a simple equation here, it sounds like there is a mystery forward other then the top 3 who Benning sees as a lock for the 4th best player in this draft. This is the link for the video on sportsnet's page for anyone interested http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/benning-feels-top-three-can-franchise-players/| I wish I got a chance to listen to Benning on Team 1040 the other day (I stopped listening to them because of Pratt and other idiots a long time ago). He is very honest and candid when he speaks, extremely refreshing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejazz97 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 My head says Tkachuk, my heart says Dubois. Tkachuk is Benning's type of player, but he was just in the Maritimes scouting (presumably) Dubois. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God hockey is great! Bob Mackenzie said Segachev is skilled, big, and mean. Maybe that's a JB kind of guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordHorvat Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Hmm, I'm thinking the mystery defenceman is Juolevi but I would be happy with either one of Juolevi or Sergachev. Maybe it's Bean? Mystery forward, I want to say Tkachuck but I have a feeling it's Dubois. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Watching vid on SN? You should be watching Caps vs Pens. Great game. Juolevi is the Dman and Dubois is the forward JB likes at those spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably had a good idea about him already just having another look. I'm with the mind that Tkachuk is the one he would take at 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, anywhere from 1-6 and we're still getting a great player. My money is on Dubois over Tkachuk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB is a team builder, so if he doesn't get one of the big three, what player in the next group is the best one at filling one of our big needs. It's like when he took JV. He thought IMHAO that guys like WN and NE were not elite at their roles, but JV is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.Am.Ironman Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I would speculate the Dman would be Juolevi or Sergachev. In a previous interview on 1040 they asked Benning about Chychrun and he didn't sound too high on him... at least not #6 high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stawns Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Tkachuk at #4, Juolevi at #6, that's my guess. You can't overlook top players from the Knights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chychrun's stock has really fallen since the beginning of the year, and there are some serious red flags with him. Getting cut from a shallow team Canada was enough for me to say no. Juolevi though, I'll take any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
