I don't see the comparison.
Bennett has shown that the tools are there, it's a confidence, between the ears issue (though figuring out how to use linemates and speeding up his shot release is also important). In a fast nhl, he's got the wheels and puck skills to be effective. Throw in his physicality, and the upside is even greater.
Reinhart had questions about his skating and playing speed from junior, so I don't think they are comparable prospects.
