And Beniers has to develop scoring to be more then a 3C or 2W. There are questions about all of the prospects hence no top guy. Things you can’t teach, size and skating.
- SDSabre


I think his skating is fine and if you compare him to other Previous college players with his Offense Production you'll be surprised at the list

He's my favorite other then Gauthier I see big things with both

Definitely has turned it up a notch, why does it seem like it always in the 2nd half on the season.

Dude, you’ve flat out announced that u come here to “stir sh!t” before


I highly doubt your NYC post had any probative value
And it was an amusing comment coming from someone who lives in Florida- which is a sh!thole (in general) itself

- jdfitz77


Some parts of Florida suck ass for sure.
Many parts are very, very nice

Having lived in Buffalo, Rochester for 25 years each, and in NYC for months, as well as both coasts of Central/South Fl; I'll gladly take FL all day everyday, twice on days that end in Y.

Donskoi and Bjorkstrand have put up solid numbers basically every year. They have talent.

Verhaege had one NHL season prior to this year so it would have been impossible to peg his ceiling.

Copp is definitely your best example.

I dont think a large % of NHL players are Joonas Donskoi without opportunity. There are levels of talent, and he's talented. I don't believe opportunity determines destiny. Look at Kassian with McDavid or Girgensons with Eichel or Scott Wilson with ROR

A majority of NHL players, especially forwards are 1st and 2nd round picks who were viewed as very talented when drafted

That makes sense for you
Opinions vary

And yes,
there are very nice places in FLA of course

Cam Robinson - Dobber Prospects - : "You can’t teach size and skating ability as Power has. But it’s all about the upside with the 18-year-old. If he breaks right, you’re looking at a high-end 1D. I just wonder about the decision-making."

Dylan Griffing - Dobber Prospects - Feb. 3rd: "Positively, he has a very strong shot and he is really effective in the neutral zone because of how much ice he covers. However, he cannot handle pressure at all. He makes poor judgments when the opposition closes him down."

It's like the NHL is the most elite ice hockey league in the world or something and just getting to the NHL in and of itself is an accomplishment but what do I know, I'm about to go cray-cray.

Right so a majority of NHL’ers are super talented. Agreed

Only you would be able to figure out you can buy your way out of exile. The fact you can is hilarious. I might be the biggest moron on here, but you're up there. The reading material is way more funnier with you around.

This all boils down to Jeff SKnner doesnt it.

Hes really good (His underlying numbers say so)

Awful at scoring of the goals with the hockey puck


One of the worst contracts in the league. Wonder why that is.

- ImThatGuy

It doesn’t but Skinner is a good example

It’s weird that whatever line he’s ever on, always provides offense and is a positive on ice goal share, but he’s not good cause points? Seems awfully flawed to me

I don’t get the love for that RB. Yes, he’s fast I get that. But look at his runs. None that were NFL holes that the Clemson o line made.

He bounced a lot to the outside

People have their opinions I have mine I already said he has moments Where's he's elite then 5 minutes later he does something weird the only thing that's annoying is his physical play ..

But if everyone remembers I said cozens has a low hockey IQ and scouts Said this also

So if cozens can become elite so can power

Think it's more about what he could add to the passing game. But I really don't think we need a RB, but I trust Beane to do what he thinks is right for the team.

Surely that doesn't mean they all have the same offensive talent level.

All I'm saying is this:

I dont believe 70-80% of NHLers are capable of 50+ point seasons if they were only given the chance. I think the number is closer to 30-40%
