Reply With QuoteI think we've seen his upside with his 89 point year and his floor this year. He is still a top 5 to 7 fantasy asset.
I'd draft him with the expectation of 75-80 points and solid peripherals.
Benn there DONE that?
I've noticed Jamie Benn's name popping up around various threads lately ... some threads suggesting perhaps a plateau for the former scoring champ.
He came in as the top ranked fantasy player by Dobber this year.
Health or lack there of definitely was a factor but if he does have a healthy year next year ... all things considered, is he still a top end fantasy talent?!
Limited keeper and need to be sure my investment in Benn at LW is a sound one.
Tks Nation!

Re: Benn there DONE that?
To put it simply there are very few assets I would rather own over Benn at the moment. I could count them on both hands, at most.

Re: Benn there DONE that?
I love benn but I think it's starting to depend on the format. 1st off, cap is now a concern. Is he still elite? I think so but I think he's already slipping a bit based on prime and just how he plays. I don't think he will slip too far, but I think he's more in the 70 ish point range now. Maybe 70-75. He biggest issue is how he plays combined with cap combined with a dynasty setup. There I think you needed to already potentially sell or he will slowly gradually diminish in value. But regardless, he's still a stud to have. So it's not like he's falling off the edge or anything, just starting to diminish a bit
Re: Benn there DONE that?
I own Benn in my league, and just for the sake of it threw his name up as a potential trade target. People are really, really low on him right now lol. Have been offered stuff like Voracek+ or draft picks. Crazy. Under the right circumstances maybe you can trade him, but absolutely not worth it with the price tag that he now seems to hold.

Re: Benn there DONE that?
I've been trying to "buy low" on him in a few leagues, but nobody is biting. Depends on the league, but if you can buy him as a 70 point player I think you will come out with a profit.Originally Posted by havanablast21
Re: Benn there DONE that?
Benn is worth every penny of investment you have in him.
And if your league is selling him low... buy low for sure!
Re: Benn there DONE that?
IMO he's still a threat to hit 80 every year until he's in his 30's, he plays with high end talent in Seguin, and Klingberg add in his peripherals, he's still a beast in any format

Re: Benn there DONE that?
I like Benn and have him in the 70s again but as Roenick27 said there are some leagues where he has become more difficult to own so format will play a part but in general a solid own
Experience is the teacher of all things.
Re: Benn there DONE that?
In my format, hes a top 5 guy. Need details on your format for context. I believe Dallas as a team is going to experience a turnaround, this will only Benn-efit my boy, hopefully Seguin too.
Re: Benn there DONE that?
Agree with this. Benn is a buy low. He may experience a shortened career due to physical play and hip issues, but I wouldn't want to be the guy who sells low on him.
Re: Benn there DONE that?
If you are referring to the trade you made in our keeper league, I really like the move for you. In fact, I really like all your offseason moves so far. Your team looks solid, one of the early favourites in my opinion.

Re: Benn there DONE that?
HB told me it was for another league. So probably some different stats.
