Jim Benning is his uncle
Nah... we'll go drafting wingers and goaliesHe's a RD at least.
Next year, evvvvvery damn pick better be a D.
Makar lite as comparable
Did I read he had similar stats to Makar in the AJHL?
Yup. There was also some other dman with rather high point totals but not even close to Benning's numbas.
e: Tim Rego
I hope soDid they pick him to lure Matt to sign with the Panthers?
He's been putting up points to start the year, which is great. Just as advertised.
I want to see or hear how he is defensively though. The odds are against him being listed at 5'8, 5'9, or whatever. Defenseman under 6 feet already have the odds against them.
That’s rude: Lundell is a special person in my heart and only the names McDavid, Gretzky and Lemieux should be mentioned in the same sentenceWe've been talking about Lundell, but this kid is a potential steal
Problem is no combine measurement: I’m guessing that this is a case of shoes/skates/barefoot.Denver site has him listed at 5'8, 178lbs
Capfriendly has him at 5'9, 177lbs
Elite Prospects has him at 5'10, 174lbs
Quinn Hughes is 5'10, 170lbs
Makar is 5'11, 187lbs
Krug is 5'9, 186lbs
for comparison
At 175lbs, he can't be that skinny if he's 5'9.
Can likely get above 180 and settle in around that weight and get stronger in the weight room.
His speed is impressive and seems very confident with the puck in the OZ.
If he can make it one day, him paired with a Stillman/Ludvig/Kolyachonok type could work out stylistically.

short defensemen sometime work: see Spurgeon. My worry is if he can become positionally sound enough for the NHL; I’m
Not sure Florida has the development capacity yet
