"I'm going to get what I deserve" -RutgerMcgroarty
I think the guy is a featherweight and that the cold dreary weather of Seattle is not conducive to his growth physically, mentally, spiritually. IT'S JUST TOO COLD AND RAINY. He needs to absorb sunlight, get vitamin D.
definitely had the sads when I lived in Seattle. Did a lot of drugs to stay on an even keel but I can see where that wouldn't work for a pro hockey player.
Maybe he's following the MacKinnon model and you'll end up signing him to a pretty small contract that turns into one of the steals of the league when his super powers kick in.

His ES production since the start of last year is just staggeringly terrible relative to his usage. It's not like he isn't being put in positions to succeed but his production looks like what you'd get if you took an average 4C and gave him 1C minutes.

Is he helping the team win?

You can't win without a good penalty kill and teammate. He even helps get shots on net by bringing the puck into the offensive zone. Sometimes he may not get awarded for an assist because he passed to the player that got the second assist.

I like Beniers quite a bit actually. I think he’s probably just a 2C not a 1C. I’d give him some time. No need to hit the panic button. Kraken fans need to stop comparing themselves to Vegas. You have good prospects. It usually takes a while. I personally can’t wait to see what Berkeley Catton brings to the team.

No one wants Matty Beniers when they can have Catty Veneers.

One of those situations where he burned a year off his ELC by playing 10 games after UM season ended. Then his first rookie season he put up a really strong season, and because he was going into the last year of his deal he was able to negotiate his next contract after really only playing 90 NHL games. Last year was a step back from a production perspective, but the whole team struggled.
yeah i don't see any reason for doom and gloom. Its normal now I guess for promising young players to get bank as soon as possible. Faber and Boldy from my club.

There is definitely risk/reward with that approach. When you're a building organization I understand the desire to lock up what you think the core is as soon as possible, but it's tough when you've won nothing like OTT or BUF and have already made a huge commitment to guys.
It's just tough when guys plateau or backslide after signing long term like that early in their career. I expected Cozens and Chabot to be significantly better than they are now, but the organization is committed so they have to cross their fingers and hope for the best.
