Bennett isn't capable of playing with high IQ players at this point. This is obvious in his play with Jankowski and Jagr when he's running into them and constantly unable to get shots off that any decent player would be able to.
This kid belongs in a suit until he proves otherwise and it's getting silly that he isn't answering for it.

It would set the franchise back a considerable amount if their highest ever draft pick doesn't pan out. They are going to try literally everything to get him going, as they should.
IMO, I think he has what it takes. Maybe it'll take another coach, maybe it'll take time, maybe it'll take a line shuffle. But it'll happen.
