I'm only kind of joking here. Where would Simon Benoit have ended up if he was here for the T25U25 vote? Above, below, or in between Conor Timmins and Timothy Liljegren? You tell me. What kind of blurb would you write for this player?
Speaking of Liljegren, he came in second in our T25U25. Unanimously, I might add.
This was a story by Kevin McGran on Toronto's Blayre Turnbull after her press conference on Wednesday.

The Montreal ??? officially unveiled their first three signings. You can read a recap of their press conferences below.

#LeafsForever prospect Nikita Grebyonkin scores off the rush for his first goal of the KHL season. It's been a nice bounce back game for him, with six shots on net playing on the fourth line. https://t.co/5jxPkvnu52

I'm too young to know any Dany Heatley memes. Anyone got any good ones?
Also, based on the Flyers' front office listing on their website, it appears they've officially announced what I reported back in July, that former NHL star Dany Heatley is taking up a role as a pro scout for them. pic.twitter.com/ihKC9Uc5x4
