Think (SHAWZY * 97)^ Marchand

I saw my guy give a couple vicious cross checks to opponents back sending a clear signal: “I’m a little honey badger”

Hopefully he has a growth spurt or he will never make Billy's team. May be moot though, Billy's days are probably numbered after bumbling Kaprizov.

good for the kid. It's always nice rooting for the underdog. 

I'm with ST here, hopefully a nice growth spurt happens.

Benak is the kind of promising small forward with attitude and tenacity that shows. Embrace the inner-rat. Be the sandpaper. Inject the grit. Get under the skin like a tiny Czech-chigger. 

Large helpings of heavy hype have hastened me to hurl, historically. Let's just see what happens. If the kid continues to do the same things as he levels-up, awesome! 

I want Wild prospects and draft gurus to be successful. I really do. In the meaningful categories more than the hype-department.

Weird that elite prospects had his skating as slow when his USHL coach said he’s one of the fastest players he’s ever coached

Craig put Bill in a corner by saying no one would offer Kirill more money. So dumb. Personally I don’t think he’s worth it. He misses 30 games a year, is on the small side, isn’t a center and doesn’t play defense. Do we really want a Parise contract when Kirill is in his mid 30’s?

Feel free! Only thing that cannot be used is the Protec username. Banned for life, too controversial.

I get the impression you don't like Billy.  Did he sleep with your mom?

He is young.  Gives the fanbase a long time to say he is overrated and a bust and a wasted draft pick and one of BG and Brackett miss communications.  

All that said him going to the OHL is interesting.  Maybe going to a college team might help with his development.  The OHL is players his own age and size.  If he can hold his own in college with players three to four years older than him maybe he is as good as his first flash.
