Outside of Bear, I have been pretty firmly in the Reschny/Kindel/Cootes camp for a while now. Any of those 3(4) names is going to keep me happy.

I know there is more to it, but Kindel and Reschny are almost the same size and same stats in the same league as Zach Benson when he went 13th to the Sabres a few years ago. I would even say that Benson had, by far, the most support of the 3 to get to those lofty numbers. Im pretty comfortable with that at 18 in what is looked upon as a much weaker draft.

Can any of our more knowledgeable prospect watchers comment on Benson vs Kindel/Reschny coming into the draft?
