I know it grates on many, but if by the miniscule chance it got him to fall to us, I'm quite ok with pull-up gate.

I'll admit I did prefer Leon pre-draft and thought Bennett would be another Brule, but I believe management will hold him back long enough for him to thicken up a bit more and mature as well. I do like the different styles between him and Monahan, in that Bennett is the in-your-face aggressor, while Monahan picks his spots a bit more and finds open ice.

In retrospect, it is great to have someone who can play 1 or 2 center and complement Monahan's game so well. I never thought of it like I do now. When you think of it, that could become quite a scary 1-2 punch up the middle, never mind throwing a Gaudreau/Poirier/Granlund/Klimchuk/Baertschi/Ferland on the wings..
