He seems like a very smart player but I think his size may be a drawback. Great compete level and smarts but I think we'll find out his true metal once he fills out. I'm anxious to see where he's drafted.
Love this player; I don't care about his size. Some guys you care about their size because they rush the middle of the slots without any attrition. This guy doesn't cheat ice… he's just got that "put the puck in dangerous places" sense. His linemates will win puck battles and possession, but this guy will make his line lethal and will help a lot with breakout plays (ie being at the right place right time). Lot of Brad Marchand here… less spice, but higher hockey sense.
He's my #5 over Smith due to his compete level. Slightly less skillful but will be more reliable to a team. Kent Hughes might choose Smith over him due to his connection going back with the Boston Junior Eagles.
He reminds me a lot of TJ Oshie. Skilled hard worker and all around player. I certainly see him or Smith at 5. Though possible that Michkov drops behind both of them just due to his situation.
AT the risk of repeating myself: Why are all these guys (many of them) SO RIDICULOUSLY small AAAAAAHAHHHHH! I have SERIOUS reservations about how these skills are going to translate in higher level leagues, for a lot of them. They say this is such a deep draft, but… maybe for AHL pint-sized super-skills guys; for NHL'ers? That's a different story. There have not been many Theo Fleury success stories in The NHL over the years, while there have been a lot more "busts", when looking at 5'9" players. Good luck to them, but these reviews are getting concerning, that so many of these "prospects' are smaller than my 3 year old daughter! 🤪

Great video
I think he’s going to be the next Marco Rossi. He will be passed on early because of his size as Rossi was.

What day is the community mock draft
Hhe kind of looks like Brayden Point the way he skates and handles the puck. If he gets stronger he could be a great NHLer
Easily my favourite prospect. I have done so much video work on him. Compete is unreal. Not a typical Steve Yzerman prospect. But please PLEASE
I want him

I'd take him at five.
Bedard Fantilli Carlsson Michkov and then Benson. There's your top five.
I enjoy all your videos. Keep 'em coming.
Hockey news nows ther shit. I'm taking Smith over Benson.
He telegraphs everything he does & he's small. He will drop down the ranks on draft day & likely never play
Awesome 😎 show
Great content as usual my man !!
Please do
ANDREW CRISTALL
next !!!😁🤩
Small, no high end speed, average hands. 🧐 Not sure about his projection.
Which players does he compare to? Great video, would love if that the D-2, D-1, D table was added
Benson and Smith at 5th overall….hard pick

Benson Suzuki Caufield would be scary.
