Elias Pettersson Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 So we are now in 5th spot in the lottery. Good enough to draft a centre who is a local boy. Zach Benson is averaging 1.70 PPG. He is Connor Bedard light. He is even a better skater than Connor Bedard. I would have no problem in drafting Zach Benson and having him as our long term 2C behind Petey... Zach Benson 2023 NHL Draft Scouting Report - LWOH (lastwordonsports.com) Zach Benson’s Potential Watching Zach Benson play, he has an eerie resemblance to a top player at the NHL level. Before the comparison, let’s clarify that this does not mean he will be as good or better than this player. It means he has a very similar style to this player. It comes down to his offensive abilities, where he plays smart more than anything, but can also turn up the dials to make magic happen. His transitional play is fantastic and is also comparable to this NHL comp. Meanwhile, his defensive play may not be a big part of his game at a higher level, but he won’t be a liability there either, barring something unforeseen. The NHL comparison this writer has for Zach Benson is Brayden Point of the Lightning. They have very similar skating tendencies and styles. When carrying the puck up ice to transition, they look identical. Point has more skill in terms of stickhandling, and as of right now is a better skater, but Benson attacks through the neutral zone very similarly. Offensively and defensively, neither turns the puck over much and both are mostly smart. But both can turn up the heat and pressure the opposition. Ultimately, Benson has the potential to become an elite NHL player down the line, but his well-balanced play makes him a safer bet than most. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if true, the real verification will come from canucks staff, so we'll find out if it was a nothing-burger or a set back. Plan is apparently for demko to start vs nashville. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
