Why you gotta bring that line down by putting Mitts in there ? C'mon man

The new kid line:
Benson-Cozens-Savoie
I want this for the first preseason game, at a minimum.

Who do you trust to make a good pass or in a fight on the boards more than Mitts?

Honestly been debating that myself. If I were to do the top 5 right now, I'd probably go
Levi
Benson
Savoie
Kulich
Ostlund
But it's close.

Also, PDOcast had Benson 5OA on their rankings (may have been 6).

I had him at 6. That is part of why I am thrilled he fell.

I had him 8, but in the same tier as my only guy ahead of him available, Moore. Was overjoyed with either, just like Nazar/Savoie last year.
And similar to Savoie, I never dreamed he'd fall to us.

Saw the development camp stream a few hours ago. Yes, he was very noticeable and active. Best player on the ice without a doubt. He's going to be fun to watch. Much energy, such compete.

Hard to find skill, effort, and hockey IQ in one package.

Kid reminds me of my old dog and her chew toy. It's his puck, and he might let you touch it for a second, but he's coming right back to get it when you do.

There's a bunch of highlights of him in junior doing the same thing. Dude is tenacious on the puck carrier. Defensemen have to hate him. 
Probably a long shot but does anybody know if video exists of the Benson pick on Sportsnet? Wanted to see the panels reaction. Can only find it on ESPN

How was this guy passed on 12 times?
-Best player on the best team filled with older Top 10s overall
-Second Best +/-
-Most of his points were done on 5 vs 5, 4 vs 5.... unlike some other "generational talent" who scored 30-40% of his points on either PP and Empty netters.
-Benson has i think no empty net goals
Benson is a generational talent.
.... such a shame he's not recognized at his just value.
13th overall... gawd damn... no offense to Buffalo but this is easely one the biggest steals of all time.

I don’t think anyone is offended by this. Most people here are shocked he was available.

He reminds me of Marchand minus the schnoz. As much as I dislike Marchand, the guy always seems to find the puck on his stick in a dangerous place.There's a bunch of highlights of him in junior doing the same thing. Dude is tenacious on the puck carrier. Defensemen have to hate him.
