Bennett is essentially Brendan Gallagher with elite offensive abilities IMO. He's absolutely relentless on the forecheck and is always driving the play forward. Just a tasmanian devil out there.

Jeebus.

Is there a recent example of a team getting two elite-capable centres in such close coupling at the draft? Edmonton has, I guess...but Edmonton.

Did Chicago do it with Toews and someone else?

Do we have to go all the way back to Malkin/Crosby?
