It was central scouting and if we went with their 2013 rankings the Flames would have grabbed Shinkaruk over Monahan....

Give your head a shake people.
Horvat had 0.91 PPG in his draft year.
Bennett had 1.60
Horvat likely becomes a good 3rd line C, or maybe a decent 2nd liner. Bennett projects as a 1st line C.
They aren't close.

The funny thing is you could compare Horvat to multiple 2013 players and come up with the same conclusion that Horvat shouldn't have been taken 9th overall regardless of having Bennett in the draft. Yet the Canucks saw something in him that made them take him over Nichushkin, Domi, Wennenberg, Zadorov, Pulock etc. etc. I don't know what it was exactly, but it might be enough to take him over Bennett if given the chance.
