Sujet: What's Actually Gonna Happen
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dzinger18</b></div><div>Eklund and Beniers would both go higher. If we're talking what's actually gonna happen, Beniers will go to Seattle and Eklund will go to Anaheim or Columbus. I don't understand why Seattle would want to have their top prospect as a "project". Beniers is the safer pick and he will likely end up as the better player in the NHL. Also, may I ask why Calgary would go way off the board and take a defenseman in Morrow when they clearly need goal scoring or at least a forward like Lysell, Lucius, or Sillinger.</div></div>

I can see where you're coming from. Many would want the "safe" pick, as well. Beniers is a good 2-way guy, and his game will translate to the next level. As for Johnson, he's a highly skilled forward who will most likely play wing in the NHL. He has a higher offensive ceiling, and is flashy and dynamic. There's belief around the scouting world that Johnson can eventually, down the road, be the better producer. Now, that's not to say he's the better PLAYER. This is draft is just based off of what I've heard, learned, and believe. As for Morrow to the Flames, I've heard (again, this varies) that if he develops his skating at UMass next year, he can put up Makar-type college numbers. There are similarities in their game, and some scouts WILL have a mid-first round grade on him. Just a matter of who
