Could Taylor Hall be considered a comparable for Bennett?
I think Bennett has better hockey sense and stick handling which could translate into a higher ceiling than Hall, but they both seem to have that physical crash and bang style of game. If that's the case, just hope the man plays a smart game and doesn't make careless plays resulting in unnecessary injuries.

I don't like it as a comparable. Hall uses his speed and size to create offence off the rush, but 9/10 times he has his head down and blindly throws the puck towards the net at a bad angle before smashing himself into the boards. Bennett on the other hand uses his vision to create offence, and has the skill and speed to do so at an elite level.
He's actually a tricky player to make comparisons too. Maybe a gritty version of Seguin or Couture or something. Probably easier to just stick with Killer.
