In today’s video I discuss some feelings on Matt Benning as he has been activated from the IR by the Edmonton Oilers! Question is, what is his place on the team, or at this point has he become a good piece of trade bait? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!

Great analysis as always. Part of me actually see's a possible 2 man trade for a possible 2nd line winger (possibly with a conditional 3rd round pick to get someone good). The clock's a tickin and if it's going to happen, it has to happen soon.
I'm sure they will move him if I remember didn't he get placed on waivers got picked up by Montreal or something or idk he has been on waivers more than once or we traded him maybe idk be nice to clear 1.9 gonna need it
why isn’t joel persson playing is he in baker i feel we have a better defensive core with him in the line up bennings a bum
I'm wrong was not him sorry
😀 keep it up dude!
Dont trade Benning. We need him he has been playin well. Other then Jones the other rookie defence have been way too inconsistent
benning and jesse package deal, cya later. decent winger , 3rd line center maybe?
Benning is a great fit, he’s buying into the new system. Just watch the next few games and look at his positioning, his moving the puck, getting it out of the zone, strong defender, makes good decisions and yes he is +8. Now let’s look at Nurse and Klefbom, out of position a lot, weak on moving the puck out of the zone, weak defenders as they get beat alot and not making very good decisions and yes Nurse -2 and Klefbom -8.
Nurse and Klefbom would also make great trade bait, their not buying into the system and they’ve been costing the team. All I ask is to just focus on these guys when they are on the ice their actions should speak for themselves.
Pretty simple
Jones goes if he has to go down because he can . Benning and Russell where playing real good together before his Injury . At some point the Oilers will move a defenceman before the season is over .
I got a video idea for you.
Aside from Connor and Leon. What are three best things about Oilers so far this season?
1- goaltending
2- Bear
3- special teams
That’d be my list right now today.
