Benning defends well and moves the puck. He’s a plus player. Plays physical. I don’t get the hate.

I didn’t have a huge problem with him but his skating was a liability. So if he worked on it then he absolutely could be the 7th d.

Its the perfect way to maximize enjoyment.
Isnt there a rule that says if you make a GDT then you have to actually watch the game?
To start last season, literally every goal scored against you just look and find benning somewhere he shouldn’t be. He improved as the year went but Sekera helped that. I think he ends up as the 7 this season

Samorukov is my favorite prospect, still think he needs 2 years Ahl though. Gotta improve his skating aswell as his timing on his big hits which almost go hand in hand.
But if everything goes well samorukov can be our Kronwall on a stacked D corps in a few years.

You thrust your pelvis, huh!
Manning couldnt even make our AHL defense last year. How on earth will he come close to making our NHL team.
I dont think you understand why he didn't play in the AHL much last year.
It's cause our AHL team was rolling and the defenders that were already on the team deserved to play.

Finding Hyman
Not much of a lineup tonight and I suspect last chance for several of the bubble prospect forwards who are essentially producing nothing.
Strong statement can be made that the vets, Nuge, Neal, Gagner have staked out their turf and are the 2nd line moving forward. This leaves the prospects to battle for bottomsix positions but we have several vets now to fill those spots.
As much as people want to comment on two Benson passes last night the guy has done next to nothing in 3 games and not impressing at all. On one of his passes to Russel he could have moved right in on net, all kinds of time and space and he telegraphs the pass.
Still not getting Benson hype here.

and again...
Manning will likely have a burr in his ass because he's playing for his NHL career... I expect him and Bear to have a solid game because they both need to bring it as other dmen are clearly ahead of them on the depth charts.
I don't agree that Manning is better than Benning/Russell but I do think he's likely realized he's got both feet out the door and if he wants to be an option as a #7D (and have a chance at another NHL contract with another team in the future)... he has to bust his ass and look decent or else he likely heads overseas for his next contract after being buried as a #7 in the AHL this year.

Maybe this is the new Oiler mojo. You hurt McDavid, we'll trade for you, bury you and end your career.
I'm looking at you, Giordano. Watch out!!

He’s a 5-6. He’s paid like a 5-6. He isn’t perfect, if he was he would be a 1-3. Why does Edmonton always have to pick one Dman to run out of town?

I think I read somewhere that they were going to have a bonding session in Kelowna at some point... so I assume it's in that period on the 21st/22nd/23rd after these 4 preseason games this week and before the final stretch of 3 preseason games next week.
I hope gagner isn't on that second line.
Benson has to do much better this game to even have a chance of making the NHL roster on opening day. I see him as AHL/first or second call up with how he's played.

He's a #6 on a bottom 10 defense and otherwise not an NHLer.
