I know the drills and scrimmages aren't the best indicator but I don't think Bennett is ready, whereas Gaureau I think is. Gaudreau and Klimchuk were good measuring sticks in this camp for Bennett (as both have higher ceilings), and I think both were better than Bennett through the sample size we got. That's no slight on Bennett, it's merely his first camp and by the scouts it sounded like he was the least NHL ready of the top 4. We'll see in the fall but I'm not sure he even gets 9 games with the competition there that'll be on the fringe to make it.
