Sam Bennett is not physically mature enough to take the rigors of the NHL. That was the knock on him prior to the draft and the same problem exists. He's still a pretty thin 18 year old kid. There is no need to rush him, even if you think he has the 'skill' to play in the NHL. Don't pull an Oiler an Nugent-Hopkins the best center prospect we have ever drafted. Send him to junior to get his game back together and see if he can make the team out of camp this coming fall.
