Just wondering with both of these guys being able to contend for the Calder next season which one do you think would win??

Bennett is a little older and I believe the experience both from an NHL coaching level as well as playing big games and being around the team will be very helpful. Keep in mind he spent the majority of the year with the Flames in meetings, working with trainers and learning how to be a Pro.

His season last year with Kingston produced very similar points with McDavid and his pace this year in the games he played was also a close 2nd to McDavid.

The one factor I believe might be a weight down on Bennett would be his playing time next season. At this stage I don't know where he fits in terms of wing or center and on what line.

I suspect McDavid will be #1 or 2 with plenty of minutes for the bottom facing Oilers .

I truly believe that Bennett will make it a closer race than a lot of people believe.
