canuckledraggin Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 1 minute ago, 48MPHSlapShot said: Too bad he won't be here for two years even if he is ready. KHL contracts have flexibility for young players who are draft eligible into the NHL. I doubt he's 2 years away. His skill and physical game make him a no brainer for the Canucks. He was noticeable in the World juniors as a 17 year old. Russians rarely get playing time at that age and he's still 17 for a few more days.

dKs89 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 So much for the draft of the US kids. Just goes to show you, mocks are good for giving you a base of what players will be in the top 15, but not the order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But drafting a Russian this high scares the crap out of me due to the KHL risk. That said, I’m going to trust Benning with this one. When it comes to drafting he knows what he’s doing.

Benning doesn't have a contract so he goes out with a Russian despite their failure developing Goldobin or Tryamkin. Could have had the safe American with all the success college guy well rounded Boldy. But had to make a move outta left field. 1st line star or elite 3rd liner... tough choice 3 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO if Benning was more concerned about his job than he is about the org he would have taken the safe pick, instead of making the ballsy bet and taking a guy that could make the biggest impact after his contract is up. 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
