Stars should put in a claim. He's better than some of the guys who fill in the lineup . Also super cheap . No risk here.
I'm a bit optimistic Benn's numbers will pick up next season when we get away from this compressed schedule. Not expecting a big increase, but I think he needs the days off more than anyone.Even not exactly playing well Gurianov has more points than Benn this year ( and last nights goal Benn didn't exactly do anything besides just standing in the correct spot so the Gurianov shot can hit him ). I sincerely hope Benn doesn't get much worse than he his now because the current version is at least still a below average top 6 forward on most nights.
I also think Benn plays his best when hes on more of a checking role and playing physical, but i also feel like his lines tend to get hemmed into their own zone a lot. I'd have to look into some numbers and see if im just making that up in my headI know his salary needs him to be more than this, but i think Benn is playing his best hockey when hes on a checking line with Faksa.
The goal was lucky last night, but that lines forecheck all night was impactful.
To get the best hockey out of Jamie in coming years. I think the best we would get is a 30-35 pt winger on our checking line. Given his sal is so high i know that not economical for that role, but its where we would get the most from him.
Checking line winger on the boards for the 2nd powerplay unit..might get him another 10pts and keep him a 40pt winger

hopefully this doesn’t turn into the Vancouver situation .

Didn't Dobby already have COVID too?
these analytics people my God. Not including goalies and J. Robertson still does not crack the top 5. FanDuel doesn't even mention him as having a shot at the Calder like yikes. 16 players mentioned but not him
