I remember Benson completely lighting up the league before he was drafted into the the WHL. He was breaking Rattie's records from the years before.

He really hasn't progressed much, if at all, since then. On top of that, he has had a season-ending injury.

I think he might be a case of the ol "being larger than everyone else before, but then having the competition catch up".
