As others have mentioned, Bennett has a chance of being a really important player for us, but he he isn't going to be a scorer like Gilmore, but he could be as difficult as Dougie was to play against.
Think Mike Peca, or a Backlund with an edge to his game...
That would be awesome imo

Doug Gilmour had less goals and assists in the NHL by age 20 than Bennett.
