Benn

My pick to click next year. Back in September we were hearing how he was sooo close to making the team, I think that lit a fire under him. I know it’s a big jump, from juniors to the NHL, but he has the type of game (power forward) that I think would allow an easier transition to the NHL. I’d be excited to maybe see Sutherby between Neal and Benn. Talk about tenacious.
