Will be interesting to see if his stock drops because of this
Well Morgan Reilly missed almost his entire draft year and the Leafs had him rated #1 despite that. Galchenyuk also missed almost his entire draft year and was ranked #1 by Calgary. Brett Connolly missed almost his entire draft year as well and went top 10.

Injuries don't generally drop players unless it's the type of injury that would affect their career. With today's surgeries there isn't many of those type of injuries. The scouts will have seen Benson enough to have strong opinions on him. Don't forget too that scouts often haven seen these kids the year before their draft as well.
