Everything about Benoit's game has gone to a new level in Toronto.
He's been tasked with playing a much larger role than originally projected and answered the call.
Defensive 'D' who is averaging around 16:00 TOI - all of his ice time coming at ES and PK
Plays a heavy game. Through his first 35GP - As of February 7th - he was credited with 101 hits and 53 shot blocks.
Keeps the game simple. Chips pucks to clear the zone if nothing available to outlet stick to stick. Very rarely involved offensively. Big. Strong. Long reach. Average skating / small area agility but he's adapted and contributed a (+2) rating.
Ice time on the rise - skated a season high 22:45 vs Dallas in the game on Feb 7th
Exceptional value. $775k - pending RFA
