I just want to say, I find it amusing that people are worried about some freak hit taking Bennett out.
Do I have my concerns about him playing in the NHL?
Sure.
What are they? Whether he can maintain the defensive understanding of whomever he replaces, whether he can beat pro defenders without turning it over, whether he can win faceoffs, who he will replace.
But people are more scared that he's made of glass and a re-injury waiting to happen. As if he won't be playing hockey with big hitters in the CHL keying on his team's star player.

As for two weeks in the AHL not being a risk, Setoguchi got hurt within two weeks and hasn't returned.

Setoguchi had a sports hernia surgery. Chances are he was playing through that while he was up with the main club, and finally decided to shut it down when he was sent down. Now sure how that's a relevant comparision.
