He's our ####### and i'm glad he's on our team. Opposition teams are going to hate him in the upcoming years.

Matthew Tkachuk. 60 points. book it.

Such a good pedigree; love when you can draft a prospect like him.

He was as much a sure-thing as they come.

I was thinking the exact opposite. I was surprised that Bennett looks to be at least as big as Tkachuk, if not bigger. Last season, Tkachuk was listed at 202lbs and Bennett at 186.

Lots of power. To throw your clothes in the shower.

Also just like Steve Yzerman. My dad used to always say that sloping shoulders are a sign of greatness. I have no idea what led him to that conclusion, but I have yet to prove him wrong.


The shoulder pads in the suit take away from how sloped his shoulders really are.

Haha, Cali, I seriously have never heard of this before, but his shoulders are very sloped. Weird. Here is hoping your dad is right.

Strong trapezius muscles = greatness... unless greatness is assessed by ability to use a shoulder strap.

Here's the full group photo from the event last night...

Spoiler!



Bennett doesn't look to be missing any bulk compared to the rest of them.
