Bennett reminded me a bit of Mackinnon in those scrimmages. Low-ish centre of gravity but he's strong against the boards. I thought he had great speed & agility. He could end up being 'Mackinnon lite' or a player more similar to Matt Duchene.
I think Gaudreau is our most NHL ready potential top-6 prospect, but I think Bennett has a higher ceiling. He'll be more of an all-round player than Gaudreau, but with slightly less dynamism on offence.
There's a lot to be excited about on that list, by the way.
