Why is it always considered "coaches bias" when it comes to a player like Benson. Whatever happened to a young player in the position that Benson is in actually WINNING a job rather than the old days where just show up and if you are breathing, you get a job? Whenever camp comes out, there are always certain players who look great in camp and are all the talk. I have yet to hear a camp report where Benson was all the talk, he's always been just OK.
I know some fans won't like to hear this as they like to make excuses but he needs to come into camp and stand out for a change rather than just be in the pack. I get players do need opportunity but the days of just showing up and breathing means you get opportunity should be over. If he wants a job, time to set up and take the job. It's not like the Oilers bottom 6 has been just loaded with amazing players. 3 guys who played in it - Haas, Nygard, P.Russell, are in Europe because they can't NHL players. If Devin Shore who's a 12/13 forward is this huge obstacle that he can't overcome, then maybe that says something about him.
