No Cups

Ryan Strome scored 49 points in 37 AHL games at the same age as Benson is. He was tracking much higher.

It's not terrible news, but this is a player who we have heard those around the organization bang the drum about as a key prospect - and increasingly, it looks like that is not the case. He's still a prospect, still can be an NHLer...but a depth guy is all anyone should be hoping for at this point with Benson.


To counter your example, Mark Stone had 38 points in 54 AHL games in his draft +3 season. That is a lower rate than Benson's current season (also draft +3). Stone then followed it up with a well over PPG AHL season.

No players track the same. I think it's too early to know what we have here. He has to keep progressing.
