Can we now officially say that we have the worst defense, goaltending, and power-play in the entire NHL? Anyone who thinks this team is close to competing is delusional

Zach Benson? Overrated? 

I love that Little Ball of Mischief. If 2/3 of this team played with his heart and energy, we'd be...a helluva lot better.

I had the game on but had company over, we 'kinda' watched the game but I didn't get to focus on any of it.

Caught up on reading this thread and watched some of the highlights and looked at the stats.

Bryam is...not an 'issue' but I'm not leaning more toward trading him for anything of value rather than signing him to a long term deal.  You are playing Philly, you are getting prime minutes, Dahlin is out. This is your chance to step up in any way, and I didn't see it. He became, for the most part, just another guy out there.

Unless he is paired with Dahlin, Bryam seems to be just a pretty good skating-but below average D-man.  That seems to be getting reinforced as more time goes on.

And he’s still a teenager…

I like zb. But we overrate him. He's a kid not ready to play prime time minutes. He has to play protected minutes on a bad team. The rules suck...he should be in the ahl. It's not a slight...it's reality.

Look, you guys want more Benson types? Hard forechecking forwards who never give up and have skills but a flaw here or there. Then we should draft Carter Bear. Better shot than Benson, same defensive checking style, less playmaking. He's 6' tall too.

His skating stride is only average but his motor runs on Benson's level.
