Teams reach final decisions on their prospect rankings... eventually. The Athletic's two NHL draft experts are no different. With m_bultman facilitating, coreypronman and scottcwheeler lock horns on the 2023 class's big names:
lineups. Another theme? The vast majority were drafted too low. Are there an equal number of smaller wingers who we could argue were drafted much too high? And if the answer is no, which I think the data says it is, then where does the inefficiency lie, really?So why should Benson be the exception? Because he doesn’t play like a smaller winger, nor does he have the limitations people expect of someone his size.
I think the biggest difference in where we land on Benson’s attributes rests in his skating. If his skating weren’t an asset, it would show on the ice. He wouldn’t be in all of the pucks he’s in on, he wouldn’t be an impactful defensive player. I never watched a game this season where Benson wasn’t playing fast and influencing the game with his pace, and I would argue he’s an above-average skater and a better one at this age than some of those guys Corey listed as better skaters were.While we’re on the topic, let’s talk about another high-scoring WHL winger you two are even more split on, Andrew Cristall. He’s No. 13 for Scott, and No. 68 for Corey.
