I was pumped by this pick. A big, right shooting, good skating player who has a good shot and quick release. All day long for me. I don't take a ton of stock in those lists that all the draft people out but he was listed in the mid first round by I think just about everyone. My hope is that he is going to be like Benson. A guy that fell for whatever reason and it works out that the Oilers basically got 2 first round picks. Benson in his first year of pro was one of the highest scoring AHL rookies ever I believe (I thought I heard that but someone correct me if I am wrong) but the point is that after 1 year of pro, he looks like a legit player in the near future.

I don't think that's the case. Benson had 63 points last year and wasn't even the highest scoring rookie last year.
I hope Lavoie is a lot better than Benson - who I think is at best a bottom-six forward in the NHL.
