Is that much different than Taylor Hall when he was first drafted?
No but Bennett plays a physical style. We've seen physical players who are physically underdeveloped struggle/bust when put straight into the NHL (see Gilbert Brule). Craig Button thinks this is a reason why you might not want Bennett to step in right away.

In many ways I do think Draisaitl fits EDM better than Bennett. I don't think EDM could pass on Reinhart or Ekblad if either fell to them.
