I rather have Kent Johnson but that's just personal preference

Either or seem good, Lucius as well. Seem to be some good center prospects in the bottom half of the top 10 this year, if the rangers continue to struggle we could really use one.

High end 2C IMO, but a guy you win with

For anyone that wants to get a good look at some this years draft eligibles there’s is an excellent game on the Big 10 Network today. Michigan is playing Wisconsin at 2pm. The Wolverines are loaded with Freshman. 3 potential top 10 picks for this draft. Power, Berniers and Johnson. Caufield and Holloway are on the Badger squad. We had plenty of talk on booth of them in previous draft threads. Should be a good watch!

He does. Probably goes in top 5 this year. At a minimum he is a cusp 1C/2C

the way this season is likely going and the growing possibility for a delayed draft i think Rangers will find that center unless Power lands in their lap.

Chicago Steel kid. Won a championship with them. He also skated on the U17 USA team with K’Andre Miller.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Beniers MONSTER right now

 

[SRHRangers]

Beniers..... Oh baby.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Ugh, they are gonna challenge this for offside.

I can already see this kid wearing the diagonal logo on his chest.

 

[SRHRangers]

Definitely not offsides

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Definitely not offsides

This is a ridiculous challenge right now

 

[SRHRangers]

It's a good goal.

Beniers just flat out FLYS

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Good goal. I'll take either him or Power.

 

[SRHRangers]

There is the Ciccolini watch. Lol

 

[Lion Hound]

There is the Ciccolini watch. Lol

Cool story about Gordie Howe stating at his Grandfathers house. More bloodlines in Hockey I think then any other sport.

IMO, no...

But he has a consistent motor with middle-6 potential, which would immediately help the depth of this team. Shot and awareness are nice and he'll grind for the puck. Best of all... he wins faceoffs!!

 

[Joey Bones]

Guys and gals... don't sleep on Brandt Clarke, either...

Does Matthew Beniers have 1c potential?

Not imo. He's a terrific kid, and one that I think is one of those utility forwards that can slot in anywhere on the top nine. Great situational awareness, but I see a playoff caliber middle six center, or top six complimentary winger. But he is not a franchise level talent imo. Just does his job well. I would think that fair value in a draft for his athletic talent would be in the mid-late 20s, but that brain, motor, and character gets you a very good pick in the 8-13 range cause he's probably one of the safest bets and there's some good upside to a guy that knows how to play winning hockey.
