This isn't meant as a shot but I see Benson on the Oilers as the type of guys they had a few years ago when they didn't have enough depth. I was actually surprise he's back as I expected him to sign somewhere else, a team like Arizona is a good example as they want to be bad to get high picks but need live bodies to fill out a roster. I've said it before, in the NHL unless your skill level is elite elite, you need to be able to skate. I don't think he has the boots to play a regular spot.

I do. You're right "his boots", that is the knock against Benson - his skating/hustle. He can pass he can stick handle he can do a lot of good things. To be fair though, in the games he played last season he was a better skater and he changes his game a little bit to become a grinder.
Maybe it's me holding out a candle for him, I think there is a player there, a NHL level player. If he can just get back some foot speed.
The very definition of insanity is doing the exact same thing expecting different results.
Generally Disappointed.
