Im not sure that Bennett blows anybody away with natural skill. He seems like a player like Iginla in that he doesn't have heaps of puck skills like a Datsyuk or Getzlaf but gets the puck to the net with his speed, aggression and physical will.

In any of the youtube scouting highlite videos I have watched I have always come away thinking that Bennett has less natural skill than Reinhart and Draisaitl but uses his physicality to get similar results.
