I think beady was talking Beniers doing these things, and Hecht being Beniers lite. But that’s how I read it? Idk, if we draft Beniers and he’s Hecht out the gate with a bunch a room to improve, I’d take it. But Eklund all the way for me.

Love his skill and upside

Some people need every thing spelled out for them. That's the thing Fitz and Pach both seem to have missed.

If we selected Beniers 1st overall and he was a carbon-copy of Jochen Hecht right out of the gates - A 20-goal, 50-point guy who is good at faceoffs, physical along the wall, has a knack for scoring timely short-handed goals from behind the goal line, and is as defensively sound as a Forward can be, I wouldn't mind one bit.

Why is the Jochen Hecht part of this clung on to so hard?

Well he was a LW and still went 40% on the dot. I wouldn't call that terrible. He was in the Selke voting 3 times in his career. He was the quintessential defensive-forward.

This was my response to Fitz when he said Hecht was Terrible at faceoffs.


Man, I really don't want to do with these guys' poop today.

Have at it people.

I already clarified this. His career stats equal out to 18 goals and 45 points over an 82 game season.

People call Reinhart a 60-70 point guy all the damn time and I never come on here splitting hairs. I just don't understand why you and Fitz seem to scrutinize every little detail in my posts over the past few months.

I am not speaking in absolutes. Pretty uptight stuff going on here most of the time. Okay he was 45% on faceoffs, well let me clarify, 43.2% over his career, well he wasn't a god damn center so yeah, I'd say 43.2% on the dot for a LW is good.

*shrugs*

But I always see dismissive absolutes directed at anything fitz posts

Also just going to apologize in advance be=cause Jochen Hecht scored at a .55 .ppg pace over his career and not a .56 as I had previously stated.

Just report me now so they can banned me.

You're really getting defensive

Dismissive absolutes. Selective reeding.

I would take a Hecht but in the 2nd rnd not with the 1st pick.

Interesting with Patrick, would he be worth a look for the right price

No it's not
Therefore I don't draft him at 1

But I do believe he's going to be a good one
- Anderdog

Agreed but this is a big decision beacuse lets say Dahlin is horrible on that side or they both just dont work good together.

Buffalo Sacrificed a center or winger for an experiment that didn't work

Hes not Hecht though .

He be ROR with faster skating before his hardware but i definitely see a higher calling over time

Will Beniers lose his love of the game in his twenties?

He is a buffalo fan but im scared about his health going forward wouldn't be a bad trade

Yep, all day. I would see if they would throw a mid rounder as well.

He seems like a guy that just loves playing the game like brady but likes winning

Hopefully hes not here next year though if we draft him

Well kinda saying that, I want more than a Hecht with the 1st pick. Wouldn't mind a Marleau

Seems like a low price for a talent like him

Julio is old, injury prone and a huge salary. 2nd round is about the best they could get.

That all I was saying yesterday.

Did Hecht have an impact? Sure.

Great player, but he wasn't a "great player at '1OA great'".

If I want more from the number one God damn player in the draft, am I wrong?

Give me Toews, Bergeron, Krejci. Not Hecht.

I see the Pegulas continuing draft domination and acquiring Wright then Bedard and lose all of these players by 2025.

Exciting few years ahead

He's a Ennis/Hecht hybrid?

Point taken

- Michael Pachla

I think people are still misunderstanding my point. He skates like Ennis to my mind and he projects to be a guy who will annually get at least some Selke votes like Hecht.

His floor is that 20+30 forward who is good at defense

His ceiling is much higher
