More or less

Nice to see some secondary scoring! If were drafting in the middle of the pack this year I hope we can snag Julien Gauthier. Big skilled RW

Not trying to compair Bennett to stamkos but stamkos first nhl season was just ok 23 g and 23 assists. Then boom next season he exploded for 51 goals and 44 assists.thats how I see Bennett he does most things right and you will see him explode and be a top end player maybe not a stamkos but close !!!!

He should be on the top line with Jonny and monahan

Bigern: You have to insulate the younger players. You can't just throw Bennett to the wolves and have him out there 22-23 minutes per night. He'll figure it out, and once he does he will be ready for those big minutes

Exactly!

Bennett is a great player and love to watch him! Very exciting! Not to mention he throws his weight around against the Oil and no one does anything.

Well I gotta say, I was at the game last night & I noticed Bennett on the ice more than Stamkos besides his favourable last minute bounce of the boards right to his stick goal. Not going there on this comparison but I sure would be thinking twice about giving this guy a 9-$10 mill per longterm contract. Let the Leafs have him. He hasn't been the same since that horrible broken leg.

Bennett has looked good so far, he needs another winger that will compliment him and Granlund (not Colborne) and the top line needs someone other than Colborne also. I think Ferland can fill either void. The top line seems stalled right now and it's not because of JG or Mony.
Bennett will be great soon, he is showing he can play at this level physically and maybe he just needs to work on the mental side of his game.
Wideman looks horrible, his PP is honestly pathetic, he needs to go. Ramo is playing great, not letting in the softies and he is definitely the #1 and Hillers confidence issues obviously were not just with the Ducks. Hopefully by the TDL they can get someone to start or back up Ramo. But, If Ramo keeps doing what he did last season and most recently they should sign him for a few more years.

I'm enjoying it.

Yeah I think they should too. Given Gillies wont be ready next year it's almost necessary.

Fair enough.

He's consistently been their best forward for a while now. He just needs to figure out how to finish.
