In the regular season:
Draisaitl produced at 1.64 PPG
Bennett produced at 1.60 PPG
In the playoffs:
Drasaitl 0.75 PPG
Bennett 1.29 PPG
Honestly, as far as ability to produce at this point in their careers, there isn't much of a difference between the two.
Bennett may be considered a jack of all trades, but some of his skills are considered elite, with few, if any glaring weaknesses. His compete level also is considered a great asset. Leon is considered a top end playmaker, and yeah there are comparisons to Getzlaf, but his speed and compete level are apparent issues in his game. You can see that when he wasn't able to raise his game in the top prospects game amongst other top prospects, or the playoffs.
Bennett is the Flames' guy IMO.
