Seriously though, I do think Bennett is a top, top prospect and he is most definitely our top prospect in terms of potential-versus-likelihood-of-reaching-said-potential. Johnny is a wildcard who very well could become an offensive wizard in the NHL, but Bennett has franchise player potential.
The way I look at it is that Gaudreau is the more talented and skilled player when comparing the two. Bennett though is much more likely to translate his skills into becoming a legit star player because of their sizes.
