    Default Sam Bennett vs 10th Overall 2021 prospect

    I need to bounce this off you guys. I'm in win-now mode and been able to snag the 10th overall pick in the upcoming draft. It's a full-dynasty cap league.

    With that pick I could either pick a solid 2021 prospect or draft Sam Bennett. I like Bennett and the fact that he's in a good situation, good end of last season and signed 4 years at a very reasonable cap hit of 4,25.

    But I need him to produce a minimum of 55 points, which he's never done before. Or should I draft a shiny prospect and try to use that as bait for a trade later? I would like to get your opinion.

    Thanks

    Unless it's a crazy crazy deep league one should never look more than two years out. Bennett had a solid shot of helping you now, and the prospect likely won't. Go for the win.

    If you're in win now mode, then Bennett isn't a bad piece to have. With this year's rookie pick ten, I'd be hoping that one of Clarke, Guenther, or Wallstedt would fall there. And if I didn't get one of them, I'd wish that I had Bennett. And even then, the three I'd hope to get at 10 all have warts (skating, Coyotes curse, goalie voodoo).

    In win-now mode, definitely Bennett.

    I probably go with Bennett but its a definitely got some risk. McCann may not be a bad option either, Dobber seems high on his opportunity in Seattle. I frankly don't know much about him.

    Instead of drafting a prospect to trade, can you trade the pick for someone better than Bennett right now?

    I dont know if hes going to hit 55pts, but Im more confident in Bennett helping you than the 10th overall pick helping you in the next five years.

    Agree with this. That said, there is a chance that Bennett could significantly improve on 55 pts. At this point no one knows. However, with a floor of 50 -55 and a potential ceiling of 65 -70, well, that's a gamble I am more than willing to take and it's well beyond what that 10th overall will bring you for years to come.

    I would be very cautious about selecting Bennett. He was given every opportunity in Calgary to be an impact player. He's never cracked 36pts (and that was his rookie year). It was followed by 26 26 27 then 12!

    Whoever said he has a 50-55pt floor hasn't seen his disappearing act out west. Ya he had a cup of coffee with the Panthers that looked good, but they added another Sam that has proven to be more reliable.

    Floor is 25pts, Ceiling is 55pts (that's a huge gap for risk/reward)

    Bennett's floor is not 25, that's ridiculous. He is in a great situation now and his floor is 50 points and he likely will get 60+.
    I can't promise I'll try but I'll try to try.

    I mean OP said they're in "win-now" mode I see this as Bennett obviously, who do you imagine will be there at 10th overall?
