From this episode, on Zach Benson

Yeah guys, let's just wait and see how the proven NHL winger does next season! There's no way he'll be as good as Dmitory Zalttseyev, the 6'3 Czech defenseman who is currently playing in the 7th tier of Czech hockey who is ranked number 41 on his list!!

"He might get there" --explaining why a guy who was arguably the most important 2way engine of a 2nd round playoff team is ranked lower than dudes who haven't played a single game in the NHL. How many David Edstroms (ranked 80 places ahead) would Buffalo need to trade Benson?

cmon, man. there is so much more information out there today to better analyze player performance and you're talking about goal tallies. regardless, 14 NHL goals is more than the NHL goals of OHLers you ranked ahead of Benson. It still makes no sense even granting your rubric.

I feel like the “I’d rather take a chance on a C or D” take is stuck in 2013.

the problems your process, wingers can be better and more valuable then unproven guys who call themselves center and defensemen.

The outrage over your Benson take is you problem brother so put down the shovel because you just keep burying yourself

Goalz and Pointz! This is middle school level analysis.

No it’s still a ridiculous take that makes it look like you don’t know ball whatsoever

Guy who doesn’t get it be like “you guys don’t get it”

The list is garbage! He had 14 goals was what you said … your list has a ton of guys above him that haven’t even broken into the league. Also, nice job having tiers that are 100 players because you can’t do a real list.

You still sound like you didn’t watch him play

Ridiculous ranking and terrible analysis

He may get there? Did you watch him at all in the playoffs? It’s a trash take for click bait.

Not owning up to your OWN rankings being off and different and 2 different segments is part of the issue. Having guys with almost 0 NHL experience ahead of Benson is the issue. You actually look and sound dumber by the day

Dude you screwed up on Benson. Take the L and move on.

Shut the fuck up you terrorist

Ahhh the old triple down on an old take for clicks when I haven’t produced anything relevant in the last month.

I wonder if you ever had dreams of being a respected and credible analyst or journalist and if you ever feel the shame of becoming a clickbait chasing goon instead. I’m just always so curious about the self awareness of people like you.

Certified bum Corey Pronman strikes again 🤡

Ur a piece of shit. Grow up

@TheAthleticNHL

You guys are like the 125th podcast out there. So, fair.

@TheAthleticNHL Man pronman not watching the 25-26 seasons abd the playoff 😂

So I’ll agree based on his regular season play. But he was an absolute force in the playoffs. He showed everyone he’s a gamer in the playoffs and that’s when you need a guy the most

Remind me again where Konsta Helenius was ranked in your last season prospect rankings?

Doubling down on this stupid take is certainly a choice no one that knows puck would make

Silence, communist.
