Talent Analysis
Coyotes Director of Player Personnel Tom Kurvers on what the scouting staff saw in the goalie: “Bennett was a goalie who played for the U.S. development program last season. He didn’t see a lot of action because he suffered an injury, but we liked a lot of what we saw when he played. We are confident that he’ll progress at BU because it’s a world-class organization.”
