If Draisaitl goes back to the WHL next year he is going to make a mockery of the league.

Sure, in the scoring department I'll give you that. But I think Bennett's other intangibles are what people like. The pure grit and dogged determination to get the puck is second to none in this draft. The leadership qualities I think also separate him from Draisaitl and Dal Colle. Granted I don't know much more about them than I should to make that statement but I haven't read anything either on those two to give me the sense that they are close to equal in that department.
You might be able to give Bennett the edge in defensive qualities as well. Along with hockey sense. Not saying Dal Colle or Draisaitl don't have great hockey sense, just that maybe Bennett's is higher.
