Hearing it's a done deal. He will report to the Canucks, not Utica, thereby burning year one of his ELC.
Will be interesting to see what this kid can do. He’s got good size and skill, very good shot. Not the greatest skater but he’s solid. He should be NHL ready or very close to it anyway, so will be another guy fighting for a spot on the big team.
Anybody have any idea what’s going to happen this summer? Way too many players for too few positions. Something’s gotta give.
A lot of players eligible for either the NHL or AHL.
Gaudette, Lind, Pettersson, Dahlen, Juolevi, Gadjovich, all can be sent to Utica while Benning makes room. Hopefully he can secure some picks over the summer to have in the 2019 draft. He’s in the opposite position to when he got here. We have younger players knocking on the door and older younger players who will require waivers. Hopefully he can parlay some of those into other assets. I’m thinking, not necessarily all, Hutton, Stetcher, Pouliot, Goldobin, Boucher, Dowd, Gaunce, Baertschi, Granlund, Motte, Leipsic. Motte can be sent to Utica so no biggie there.
Anyway, he has shown he can make room when he needs to.
