Team: 2025 NHL Draft
Fantasy Summary
Truly tiny but undeniably talented, Benak’s speed and playmaking will have to be on full display if he is to successfully traverse his long road to the NHL.

June – Combining burning speed, high-end vision, and a headiness and maturity beyond his years, Benak has been able to find offensive success at every level he’s played. With 3 assists in 3 playoff games, Benak wrapped up what has been a decently productive season at the USHL level (17 goals and 59 points in 56 games) and a very productive year internationally (7 goals and 24 points in 12 games). Nevertheless, at 5-7 and lacking a consistent defensive game, as well as high-end scoring ability and dynamism, there is reason to question Benak’s path to the NHL.—Luke Sweeney
