Truth is that nobody here has a clue how the combine results make a difference to each teams draft rankings.

The physical testing at the combine allows teams to see how physically developed players are, and to give them an idea of what they have to work with development wise once they draft them.
Bennett's performance at the tests likely affects what fitness plans/programs teams will prepare for him once they draft him and inform a team of how long it may take for him to be NHL ready, not so much his draft ranking.
