will be the most exciting day so far in the life of Georgetowns Adam Bennett Sometime during the morning the 18yearold high school stu dent will climb a podium at the Met Centre in Minneapolis Min nesota and hell don a National Hockey League jersey as a first round selection in the annual NHL entry draft Pretty heady stuff for a guy who two short years ago was slog ging it out on the blueline with a struggling Georgetown Gemini Jr B squad But then the past two years have been the stuff of dreams for Bennett Last summer he was the number one pick second overall of the Ontario Hockey Leagues Sudbury Wolves After a solid rookie season in the tough OHL wars where his stock rose with every outing Bennett was soon ranked in the top JO of eligible players heading into the June 17 NHL lottery At last look the affable youngster was ranked number seven the world Now the guessing game begins What be the next stop on Bennetts road to a profes sional hockey career According to the rangy Bennett 210lbs its all still up in the air There are however some plausible scenarios that could un fold Saturday Minnesota Quebec drafting first has ap parently decided who they will select But they havent ruled out a lastminute deal If Quebec does use their pick it would have to be for one of two players Swedish sensation Mats Sundin or Western League scor ing machine Dave Sandin isnt available for a year but most experts feel the bulk of the 1969 draft crop are all at least a year away from the show So if Quebec takes Sandin the Islanders at number two would have to take Chyzowski They have talked to Bennett but they have a young defence now and need to replace Bryan TrotUer soon The Leafs at number three ap parently covet Belleville Bulls centre Scott Thornton That leaves Winnipeg drafting four and its entirely possible Bennett could go that high to the Jets They wined and dined him a few weeks ago and theyve picked extra large in the past Jason a S college pro duct is rated as the best in the draft but Ben nett is considered to have the most potential A tossup It comes down to what Win nipeg wants says a philosophical Bennett If they are looking for the big I could go as early as fourth Winnipegs also interviewed another WHL star Stu Barnes and if they deal Dale Hawerchuk they may go up the middle That would leave Jersey Chicago and Minnesota in that order Bennett says his agent predicts be wont be around past the seventh pick Jersey Chicago and Min nesota are the kinds of teams Id like to go to said Bennett who added hell be happy anywhere Id like to be pan of a team on the way up A prediction from your humble typewriter jockey Number six Chicago Stay tuned TSNs coverage of the draft begins am Saturday
