Bennett and Lazar are two guys whose bulldog type play and competitiveness masked their skill deficiencies in junior.

Both guys need to be paired with high end skill I think. They are likely complimentary wingers at the NHL level.

Bennett occasionally gets away with a junior hockey toe drag and scores a nice goal but I don't see the high end skill that would be expected of a top 5 pick. His strengths are his agility, skating, and fearlessness which will get him to the high danger scoring areas but he lacks the finishing skills but it is something he can work on.
