A Bennett/Horvat comparison is probably closer than a Horvat/Backlund comparison though. Backlund is 6 years older and his career years so far are comparable to what Horvat is already doing at 20. Although I agree that Bennett has a higher ceiling than Horvat. Horvat's game is great for a 20 year old, Bennett's game is slightly better than great his and is more than a full calendar year younger.
A better comparison to Horvat's potential might be ex-Canuck Kesler, but without the sliminess.
