I would guess he's playing around 190lbs, In person he doesn't look a whole lot smaller than Monahan or Frolik and he's bigger than quite a few. Jooris, Backlund and Raymond are smaller and of course there's Gaudreau and Hudler.
Oh, he is falling all over the place. Last time I remember seeing a player on his back, or with his ass in the air as often as that, was Kobasew. The big difference is, Kobasew was always flattened at the blue line trying to gain the zone, and Bennett is in the corners, or in front of the goal.

In many ways, Bennett also reminds me of Hall, in his recklessness. Big, big difference there though is that Hall's recklessness is dumb, and Bennett is not.
