Well I like the name.

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Numbers are terrible. Seems like a waste of a pick.

 

[vancityluongo]

John Weisbrod

 

[D0ctorCool]

Hmmm. I think we can all agree that William Lockwood is the player that we picked.

 

[TruGr1t]

Huh didn't see him discussed at all on this board.

[turkulad]

Such a disappointing analysis by SB Nation.

 

[ahmon]

I watched him. This means they must have have watched a lot of Keller.

 

[coldhands]

Hansen type player. Kid has dangles he just has trouble finishing.

 

[BEERows]

Most likely could've been had later. Passed up many better options. Typical

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

108th ranked guy by CSS.

Pronman had him at #75:

Lockwood didn't put up great numbers this season, so consider this one more of a scouting feel, as I always came away impressed when I saw Lockwood play this season. He has high-end offensive talent, as he skates very well and buzzes around the ice with speed and energy every shift. He is confident with the puck and can execute difficult plays with consistency. Lockwood is better at attacking directly than being a playmaker, although he has decent vision. His off-puck play can use a lot of work. He is not the most physically imposing player nor does he win a ton of battles. His defensive positioning could also be described as lackluster, at times. He's committed to the University of Michigan starting next season.

 

[Seatoo]

What the **** Benning

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Hey, it's a fun name

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Woooooooooooooooooo

Go Nucks Go

Hey we get to pick again at 140!

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

If we wanted a tiny shifty winger, Vitaly Abramov was right there.

 

[FOurteenS inCisOr]

Bit of a reach.

Ah well...

If we wanted a tiny shifty winger, Vitaly Abramov was right there.

Are you ****ing kidding me

 

[Cupless44]

Most likely could've been had later. Passed up many better options. Typical

Taken righ before Adam Fox, Abramov and Cam Dineen

More nice work Benning

General consensus is that he projects as a speedy bottom-6 player. Good skater, little finish.

Don't like this pick much, especially when looking at the other small skill guys who went in the next 5 picks.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

It's a crap shoot in these late rounds.
But if course people get upset when JB doesn't pick the player that fans want.

 

[GetFocht]

Hmm I wanted James greenway

 

[biturbo19]

Not necessarily the guy i would've gone for there, but don't mind this pick at all.

He's a really interesting projection. A bit smaller than ideal, but he's a super speedy little buzzsaw out there. Flies around, hounds the puck, forechecks really well. Has some flashes of pretty underrated skill.

Really curious to see what he can do out from the shadow of a depth role on the USNTDP. Those guys just don't tend to get a lot of opportunity to spread their wings and play a lot of offensive minutes until they leave.

Nice that he has the sort of game to be a potentially great bottom-6 fit if the scoring side doesn't end up really blossoming completely.

Not sure if I would call the first 3 rounds of the draft the late rounds
