Agreed. I could see draisaitl ending up more like Patrick Berglund has for St. Louis... A big, skilled center that shows rare flashes of elite talent but never turns into what they hoped. Never a legit top 2 centerman. I know people like to use kopitar as a comparison to him but I just don't see the two-way game or the speed that kopitar has.
Bennett, on the other hand, looks like he will become a game-breaker. He seems like a mix of Matt Duchene and T.J. Oshie with his physical style, compete level, and awesome hands. A future line up with Monohan, Bennett, and backlund as the one-two-three punch up the middle is going to be fun to watch. Add in gaudreau, baertschi, colborne, poirier, etc. on the wings and the future is bright.
