I don't think trying to compare Nylander to Bennett is a strategy that will get you far.
We are not comparing playing styles. That has zero to do with a players size. Bennett and Nylander are absolutely comparable size wise, playing style be damned. I am pointing out how ridiculous the argument is not to take Nylander because he is undersized, it just isn't true.
