No exceptional skills? Not sure how anyone can conclude that. Ranked 1st in his draft year by multiple sources. Here's an example of his skills including his exceptional shot and some exceptional puck handling. Check out that unreal backhand roof shot.
I mean either you're not watching him closely or you're just ignorant on the topic. You're insistence that he's too small to play his game makes me lean towards the ignorant side of things since he isn't too small to play any type of game. Young players are often inconsistent and Bennett has struggled with that but his upside is tremendous and history is littered with many players who didn't put it all together until they were older than Bennett is now.
So lay off the too small, no exceptional skills BS. Because that's what it is, just straight BS.
