No one can convince me Matty Beniers isn’t actually at least 31.

Not about playing in Arizona. About playing for a team that didn’t matter competitively. I heard almost nothing about McTavish and Johnson during the season either
If you’re playing for a low tier team who isn’t a huge market, you need to be Amazing to get noticed

Good year for rookies whose first names start with “Ma.”
cookingwiththeresa
Yes
booksmctrappin
Yup. Look no further than the most underrated player in the NHL he plays with, Clayton Keller, for proof.
garytabasco
Never heard of this guy haha
BigGuyNorthSide
How was Beniers a rookie this season when he played 10 games the season before?
dollarBillz007
Yea I don’t think I ever heard of him
palpytus
I never even heard of the last guy until about 2 weeks ago. I remember hearing about Maccelli mid season but it was something about how his point pace was unsustainable or was only bc the Yotes had no one else to play. if he was playing in a more high profile franchise he def would’ve gotten some air time
Rockhardwood
The guys voted over him, you weren’t voting on points.
CitizenNaab
Absolutely. He was very good for the Yotes all season long
AZIL2015
Kid also missed 18gms this year… his 82gm scoring pace was 14-49-63… if he hadn’t missed the time he absolutely would’ve challenged if not beaten Beniers for Calder

Everyone goes under the radar when only 5k fans can see them play in a college arena.
DeputyDangle19
Considering I’ve never heard of him, I’d say yes.
I_skander
Yes
Abolton12
Absolutely. He looked great in most every game he played in. I hope Keller and Maccelli stay a duo for years

Cole Perfetti had 30 in 51.
daft_punked
Very impressed with Maccelli and Johnston. Johnstons late surge was pretty damn incredible and Maccelli was just flying under the radar for me, if it wasn’t for THG.
Still, Beniers is the man!

Fuck yeah he went under the radar, I’ll be honest I watch a lot of hockey and barely am hearing about him.

It’s funny because I remember watching him vs the Jets, and he stood out, and I was thinking « who is this kid? Never heard of him. » kudos to him for keeping it up, hope this flourishes into a nice and unheralded career.

Not for Avs fans… him and the Coyotes gave them hell during their matchups and I can’t explain why.

Yep
YEEP! He should have been a ROY nominee
