C/LW Matthew Beniers - Univ. of Michigan, NCAA (2021, 2nd, SEA)

11 points in his last 5. 1C and probably the future captain.

Under Hakstol no less. An impressive feat to be sure.

I'm getting a Beniers jersey at the Kraken shop!

Got myself one a couple weeks ago. Kid is an absolute stud

Just another day at the office scoring OT winners 7 seconds into the period. Something tells me Beniers, in addition to being awesome and a future captain is also going to be one of those guys who earns the rep for being clutch AF.

Toews vibes but he smiles.

After 20 years of being told any C with any sort of defensive ability is the next Bergeron I think this guy might be it. Bergeron put up 31 goals and 42 assists in his age 20 season, he was always much more than defense and I think Beniers' ceiling in the COVID draft may have been underestimated.

Toews vibes but he smiles.

I like this comparison the best

I have been a fanboy of his forever... Ducks were so close.... Love his speed/2way/intensity/skill combination. He's involved all over the ice every single shift.
