Tyler Benson's Player Profile

Chris Peter of CBS Sports - June 20th, 2016 - "Benson is an intriguing, but risky one. Coming into the year, he looked like a lock for the top 10, but he dealt with a lot of injuries. Assuming he can get healthy, he's a dynamic talent. He had 28 points in 30 games this year."

Damien Cox of Sportsnet - January 13, 2016 - "The numbers just aren’t there, which has scouts divided. Some love his effort and grit, some really don’t see the upside. He'll captain Team Cherry on home ice at the Top Prospects Game."

The Draft Analyst - "Shut down for the remainder of the regular season in late February from an apparent groin injury…Missed entire month of September and most of October after a lower-body procedure…Tallied at least one point in 16 of 19 games after he had a goal and an assist through his first seven games of the season…Registered a goal and four assists in five games for Team Canada’s gold-medal entry at the 2015 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Cup"

Future Considerations - "A powerful kid who uses both his brains and skill to outplay his opponent. He has some skating issues that will need work, but is hard to contain down low and can really be dangerous deep in the offensive zone. He just owns the boards, protects the puck and wills himself to win most one-on-one battles. His shot is pro caliber, and he needs little space or time to put the puck in the net."
