Bennett is one inch shorter than Draisaitl. It's not like Bennett is tiny. He does weight 30 pounds less, but Benny should be up to 200 when he makes the NHL (assuming he returns to junior).

I agree that the Oilers should take Draisaitl. He's not nearly as good of a player except he can play next year, where Bennett would be best served spending another year in juniors. He does fulfill one of the areas of need for the Oilers and that is that he isn't easy to push off the puck.
