He was a PPG before that injury in his draft year and after that the coach used him in a defensive role for the rest of the season. Leads me to suggest he does have an offensive upside. 45pts in 44gp. That's a significant jump from last season, and it's not like his quality of teammates has gotten better either as two of the top goal scorers from his club last season departed (both scored 129 and 113pts respectively), well well over a PPG. Not only is he a physical, defensively sound defenseman, but he's proving to be capable offensively too. Think it's time to tune in a game of his 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This just reinforces Bennings drafting abilities. Because we have such an astute deafting team now in Van, I am more interested in the draft now than ever before. I believe the Canucks are top five in drafting. Edited February 3, 2019 by Rodishred 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until benning came along, I barely followed our prospects. There was no one to follow (the gaunces, Schroeders, and jensens of the world did not create any excitement). World Jr's were never that interesting as we usually had nobody even playing in it. Now I follow whats going on regularly. Watch games in other leagues and world Jr's are great as we have multiple players playing for multiple teams.

Not to mention he started the year off slow coming off of injury and then needing to play his way back into game shape. Kids been dynamite this year and I can easily see him stepping into the NHL next year with a good training camp. Could easily be sheltered with Tanev and Stecher ahead of him. Trade Guddy, but if Woo cant make it the whole year send him down to the WHL and bring up a guy like Chatfield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCann was a good pick that we rushed and he hasn’t turned it around for the better. McCann was ranked to go early teens and was clearly the BPA at our pick it just sucks that Pastrnak was the next pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benning and co have brought life into what used to be a black hole Ha, ha! Yah right?! Look at my user name!.... A mix up of Rodin and Schroeder!... I mean... I was excited that these guys were drafted... We had no other prospects at that time with any potential. I now spend as much time following our prospects as I do our team. Few years back, went to Shawnigan Lake to meet Boeser, Demko, Stetcher, Juolevi. During WJ, went down to Victoria to watch the Hughes brothers and Madden. I really enjoy watching the building process this team is going through. I'm hoping to go to the draft in Van as well! I'm really hopeful that Madden and Woo end up being impact players on this team in the not to distant future. Now if I could just figure out how to change my user name.... lol! 1 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RetroCanuck Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Kids a beast! He could be the steal of the draft! Strong defensive play with offensive ability. In a lot of ways he reminds me of Guddy, but with a better outlet pass and skating that Guddy lacks. Can honestly see this kid fighting for a spot next training camp and if he doesn't get it then one more year in the W wont hurt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
