Benson or Smith, you have to pick a team
RT - Team Benson
Vinny - Team Smith
RT - Team Benson
Vinny - Team Smith
run this again in June before the draft because I may change my mind. Smith has enough skill that you may not be able to ignore it especially at a premium position.I just wanted to get a list so I know where to send my "I told you so" when Smith turns into the next Pastrnak

He's the guy waiting for the pass at the opposing teams blueline.This.
I voted Benson but I need to see Smith at the U18s. Is he a passenger or is he a driver?
fair enough. I hope I'm wrong on what I've seen thus far in the games I've watched. He's not someone right now that I'm excited about. But if we are picking 7th? I may have to be.I need to see it for myself. On a big stage.
He's often highly ranked, and while none of us are professional scouts, some of us are very knowledgeable on the game. Don't discount your opinion.I’ve watched both play many times over the last two seasons. I like both a lot. I like Benson a lot better.
I’d take Benson over Smith and the 45th pick in the draft. I’d trade Smith and the 45th pick for Benson.
I’m also not a scout and I have no idea what I’m talking about.
That's my fear with Dvorsky. I think he's a very good hockey player, but I fear he won't be the driver on a line.This.

When he’s played on AIK’s U20, he does drive the play (the games I have seen). He’s a man amongst boys. But on the third line wing in the SHL, not at all. Here is a comment by Pronman about him, as you guys have said, he’s always negative about skating. “His biggest issue is footspeed as his game lacks the pace for higher levels and to make a dent versus men.”That's my fear with Dvorsky.

I like him, just not sure he'll be the guy who makes most of the big plays. Be in on it? Definitely! I think he has all the tools to be a #1 center in the NHL, but he may be of the high end complementary type.When he’s played on AIK’s U20, he does drive the play (the games I have seen).
