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.

Knights season ticket holder here and I can say in no way is Horvat in the same level of talent as Bennett. Horvat will be a solid NHLer but Bennett should become a true #1 centre.
