This is as good a news we could have expected. Let's hope for a full recovery.
Doesn't it mean if the injury heals correctly, he'll be in camp? That's how I read it anyways.the problem is it's not really saying anything, it's been rumored he would be out for the season but we don't know anything about the injury, how bad it is, or if the docs think he'll make a full recovery. Just that he's expected to be at camp but that doesn't really mean anything.

For 3rd pairing standards, 5 goals, 20 pts, and a +16 is well above average. This is almost on par with what Sergachev is doing with Tampa this year. A contract year for Benn... he clearly showed up this season and will be looking for a decent contract. Turns 32 in July. Outside chance that some team signs him for 2 or 3 years at $2M AAV (+/-)
I'm not sure what Bergevin will do with Benn. Does he let him walk or does he still value him like he did when he protected him in the expansion draft?
It all depends of what Juulsen can provide next season IF 100% healthy again.
Man this is great newsHe was training today with the Rockets, so I guess this is good news.

what did you do with Petry?
I don't see Kulak getting 3 years, no way.
I don't think Fleury is ready to be a full timer next year
That blueline would be brutal.
That's a significant downgrade from this years defense. I see MB adding after this year as opposed to selling. Also 15 teams we cant trade him to so i don't see it happening next year. Deadline 20/21 is much more likely imo. In you're scenario is Petry moved in a hockey trade or for futures?
He did pretty good for the first 20 games behind PetryJuulsen in the top 4 is silly talk. Let him start by staying healthy first.
He was fighting to keep his nose above water more often than not. He wasn't ready.He did pretty good for the first 20 games behind Petry
With Rielly, no less.
I mean, when are we going to give the kids playing time ?
If Juulsen is 100% healthy I expect him to compete for the last RD spot at training camp. I am not 100% sold on him right now, not much production, saw him get burned by speed a couple of times despite not being a big defenseman. Good shot, some physicality to his game that I like. I would expect Benn to sign elsewhere for more money so there should be a spot open. Short term, I don't see him on the top-4 and still need developing to move up the ladder. I wouldn't mind him starting in the AHL after all his health issues.
Hurrying up for Juulsen isn't on his advantage.That's my thinking. He missed a lot of hockey this year. So I'd personally like to see him start off in the AHL getting top minutes. If he's healthy, I don't think it would be long before he'd be called up.
