From getting married to signing a new contract, it’s been a busy summer for Oilers blueliner Matt Benning as we caught up with him during his visit to our Hockey School presented by Rogers in St. Albert.
Shouldn't have been signed to 2 years after the season he just had, he hasn't even come close to proving he is 3rd line NHL worthy yet. And with the Oilers just drafting Bouchard I would have loved a 1 year deal and less annual, that was too much money. Bouchard should smoke him for the 3rd pair role right outta camp though.

His eyebrows are back. Congrats on hitting puberty.
I hope he improves this season, also congratulations on the wedding Matt
