Benning/Weisbrod re-jigged the draft boards after day 1 to take Hoglander which was apparently the breaking point of the relationship with Brackett. Somewhere at the time it was reported that there was a big defender the scouts would have taken but I’m not digging to find it 5 years later.

HFBoards is well aware that today is election day in the US. We ask respectfully to focus on hockey and not politics.

Jett Woo is already 24, and prospects like D-Petey, Kudryavtsev, Mynio and even Wilander have sailed by him. He's a career AHL-er at this point, and closer to playing in Europe than the NHL.
Benning and Co. were consistent to the bitter end. Couldn't find a single NHL d-man from the Dub in eight years of drafting.

We don’t pick from the WHL period.
Even Kole Lind seems to be on a similar track granted he’s played some nhl games. I do hope to see woo make the nhl but like you said, won’t be a nhler p, probably a professional player in a different league.
Absolutely true.....every year there are some good pro d-men drafted by NHL teams. But with Benning and Co, it seemed the closer a player was to home base, the less they actually knew about them.
Our CHL scouting has sucked over the years, but when it comes to the Dub, it's just been unimaginably bad, up until the regime change.
