Gagner cleared waivers not that long ago. Vanek had to sign a 2M show-me contract. These aren't Gretzky and Lemieux that Boeser was playing with.
But, forgetting that, why are we comparing an older Bennett to a younger Boeser who was on pace for 39 goals as a 20 year old this season! Bennett put up 13 in his 20 year old season.
