Despite the dirtiness (which I wasn't a fan of) I had a tremendous amount of respect for Clarke as a competitor and a leader and a hockey player.

Edit: point being that I am hoping that Bennett becomes a similar type of player (without some of the dirtiness)
In some ways the team that Treliving/Burke are trying to build looks like the Flyers from their cup days, with added speed of course, more than the LA Kings model to me.
