The risk though is whether he has the frame to do so and avoid injury as in some ways he reminds me a bit of a better Gilbert Brule, a player who was a physical player in juniors but unable to transfer that to the bigger pro game. Personally from what I have seen of Bennett there is no way he should be traded as his potential dwarfs any possible return and would be the type of trade to bite a general manager in the ass in a few years time.

Brule was listed at 5'11", 184 and I would bet that's 'optimistic'
Bennett is 6'1" and will easily fill out over 200 lbs. No comparison there whatsoever.
He will have a bigger frame than Toews, though not be quite as tall. But if you want to make comparisons of body types, Toews is similar, Brule isn't.
