Didn't know Kris Russell had a concussion issue. Benning is still a bit rusty (to say the least) from his concussion issues. Jones seems to be learning how to play NHL defense, but he still seems more of a student than a guy ready to confidently assume a role in the NHL. Lagesson and Jones will probably be in and out of the lineup while Russell recovers, It would be interesting to see Bouchard, but I think it's best he continue the ripening process in Bakersfield.

Looking forward to seeing how Benson handles the promotion. Hope he handles things well.

Have to think puck movement from the d is improved with Russell out and Jones-Benning as the 3rd pair. And while the forward group loses a bit of speed, they gain a guy that can bring it at both ends of the ice in Benson. I really like the prospect of a Benson-Sheahan-Archibald line.

This is great. Young players sliding into depth spots after learning defense in the AHL while not being asked to be saviors of an NHL franchise bodes well for us.

This is what you want to see. You have NHL vets on your team who maybe aren't high end but good enough play and be OK. This allows the young guys time to play in the minors and develop. Then when they are ready, they come up and make an impact. We saw it with Bear. Yamo has stepped in and been great. Jones to a lesser extent has been solid. Hopefully Benson will be able to step in and handle it.

Perhaps a tad tacky, but does anyone know what number Benson will wear? Is he just going to sport a random ‘well (46) it was my number in rookie camp’ kinda thing?

He's had the same number since he first broke camp here, 49. I'm guessing he probably won't be able to change that until he looks like a lock to stay with the big club.

Meaning I believe Riley Sheahan will be here for awhile? Yes. Yes, I do think he will get a 2 year extension. Big time like Sheahan.

A little taste of the bigs. Will trust Tippett here. He must have got a sense the kid was like a deer caught in headlights, trying to jump in in the middle of a playoff race.

Hope he learned a lot to be ready for his next chance.

If Neal is back, and Tippett feels Benson isn't ready, I think I do prefer Cave to be sitting around doing nothing for weeks at a time.

Agreed there. As long as we aren't icing a lineup with Cave and Russell dressed in it at any point...

I think Neal will come back, and then Benson's minutes would be marginal.. or he'd be in the press box. Probably better to give him top minutes in the A.

Yeah - if Neal is back then I don't mind this. If he isn't yet and we get a few more games of Cave & Russell, then I'm less thrilled.

I think Benson looked like Yamo his first time up. Close but not quite ready. What the call up gave him is a glimpse at the NHL and what it takes. You can tell a player 100's of times what it takes, you can let a player watch all the film he wants but until a player feels what the NHL is like. The speed, the intensity, the strength of the guys, I don't see how they can fully know what to expect and what they need to do.

So I expect him to take his limited experience and use it as fuel. He got a slight taste of the life, if he wants it, he now knows what he needs to get it. In reality, he probably doesn't need to do a lot, just slight tweaks or that tiny bit extra.

I think it would have been better to give Benson a little taste to start the year, like Yams did a couple times before he actually came in ready this season. But, I guess we were juggling all kinds of new guys, many who never touched NHL ice (although were vets in other leagues). Not a great situation to have to juggle another rookie in as well.

Is what it is I guess. Benson got a taste of NHL. Maybe not great that he was here for our junkiest performances in 2020, but maybe there was stuff to learn from that too.

Colby Cave is coming up, according to PuckPedia.

Ugh...like Patrick Russell, this is a love that the Oilers have that I just don't understand. 4-5-9 in 61 NHL games at age 25. I'd rather give the reps to Benson.

I think Neal will come back, and then Benson's minutes would be marginal.. or he'd be in the press box. Probably better to give him top minutes in the A.

Yeah - if Neal is back then I don't mind this. If he isn't yet and we get a few more games of Cave & Russell, then I'm less thrilled.

Well crap. Update today is that Neal has a lingering injury that he needs to nurse longer because it could be re-injured easily.

I guess we get to watch Cave get Caved pretty soon. Especially if McDavid misses a game.

Sounds like Neal isn't getting better fast, so the plan really is more Cave or Russell...

For anyone wondering what the image above is, it's where depth scoring goes to die.

James Neal was at undisclosed restaurant this week, bragging about sneaking out to the bar and getting wasted.

True story. Maybe he's not injured...

2015/2016 - This Kool-Aid tastes like McDavid flavoured Drain-O.
2016/2017 - This Kool-Aid is starting to taste like juice.
2017/2018 - I'm drinking this Kool-Aid, in hopes that it's Drain-O.
2018/2019 - Another round of Drain-O, good sir!

Keeping him on the shelf until Looch gets closer than 10 goals behind him to save the 3rd round pick? Guess that would mean he's done for the season.

Same restaurant, sounds like the boys do not eat well at all. If I was a high performance athlete, I would be eating like one... like GSP. Hell, I'm a low performance athlete and I watch what I eat, ultra carefully.

Maybe they know something that me and GSP don't.

So...is Benson coming back now with McDavid down? Or is there some other plug we can pull up to augment the roster? We do have Brad Malone in the organization still...at 30 years old, with 199 NHL games to his name, I think he's a prime candidate for a breakout performance.
