RD Ben Danford - Oshawa Generals, OHL (2024, 31st, TOR)

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

I feel like he’ll probably play in the NHL as a 5-7, but it seems like such a lazy pick. Everyone knows the Leafs need a right handed defensive defenseman, so they overdraft a guy that was playing basically right near them “to fix the problems” who won’t be there for at least two years and may never actually be more than a plug in the NHL.

Kind of player you are interested in and intrigued if it is a late 2nd or 3rd but it does leave a lot to be desired with a 1st round pick. See how it goes though I guess.
 
Oshawa General fans, talk me off the cliff. Boxscore scouting looks like he has regressed across the board
A week before he won MVP at 4 Nations, you also compared Nathan MacKinnon to Kasperi Kapanen, so you thinking Danford has regressed across the board is most likely a good thing.

No you're not.

As per usual you come in here with your doomsday scenario, chicken little.

Quit stat watching, and watch games.

The sky's not falling.
Also isn't Danford considered a defensive Dman type so why would his counting stats matter that much in a season he has been injured in?

His regular season goal total has increased by fivefold from last season. And I'm guessing based on boxscore scouting that Oshawa Generals is not as high scoring team this season. Since he is considered a defensive defensman I dont think thats too bad - certainly not sign of regression across the board.
