I don't know about Bennett's hockey IQ prior to the NHL. I found it to be a little dubious after seeing him play for the Flames for a couple years, so I went back and watched a bunch of video from junior.

I'm no expert but it really seems his high hockey IQ was actually just him being way stronger and faster than most players around him and then making dipsy doodle moves because of this.
