Can Blackhawks land Connor Bedard?; Top 5 draft options
5. Zach Benson, LW, WHL
Benson has become a star in the WHL, putting up impressive numbers during his three years in the league. The British Columbia native has posted 139 points in 116 games over the past three campaigns and has currently racked up 23 goals and 33 assists during the 2022-23 season. The 5-foot-10 and 159–pound winger is described by as 鈥渕anipulative, intelligent, and lethal with the puck on his stick.鈥� With a chance to reach 100 points on the year, Benson has a chance to blow past his numbers from a season ago and capitulate his name towards the top of the draft.
