Benson is also a massive reason Tage has been heating up on the Sabres PP.
I like Smith, but I'd take Benson with his elite motor and impressive all around game. And it's not like Benson isn't a capable offensive player - put Benson on the top line in college hockey and he'd probably be lighting up too.You mean the NCAA leading scorer as a rookie?
Pretty sure that's the one who he means.You mean the NCAA leading scorer as a rookie?
As a Sharks fan who had Benson ranked 5th pre-draft and Smith 6th… I like Benson more as a player but for a team with next to no high-end prospects, I always knew that Smith would be the pick and stand by it even if Smith doesn’t hit his upside.Smith

Physics can be against smaller players when it comes to getting hit, but smaller players play differently than bigger players, and usually don't put themselves in positions to receive the same type of hits as bigger players and dont throw the same type of hits either. Due to their size, they grow up playing a specific type of game which I think evens out the risk and injury susceptibility.Think about what happens when a big car runs into a little car. This is basic stuff.
I don't have all day but some recent examples of smaller players getting dinged up - Kailer Yamamoto (who was great as a rookie), Tyler Ennis, Tyler Johnson, Nick Blankenburg (one of the Jackets best players in his early games, can't stay healthy).
special player considering everything else he does.
Send the video to the League. Most of those calls were pathetic.Softest calls ever probably league wide officials hazing him only explanation I could think of
