Bennett is not Yakupov. Not even close. From the moment he showed up in Edmonton, Yakupov showed that he had no hockey IQ, and no desire to be coached.
Bennett has been bad with the stupid penalties so far, but most people assume he will figure things out. He has shown all kinds of talent (periodically), and has been fantastic in the playoffs
twice.
He is no where near Yakupov territory and I am getting really tired of the comparison.
Bennett is way more comparable to Schenn than he is to Yakupov.
