Do you think that Bennett has more value than Ryan Murray?
In isolation you weren't wrong about either one but broadly using tournament inclusions or exclusions as some sort of gauge on NHL value isn't a sound approach IMHO.

I think Bennett and Murray are probably have similar value. Murray hasn't lived up to his draft billing either and has been passed by several other players on the depth chart.

I would keep Bennett because he has more upside. Murray never had much upside at all.

So yes I think Sam has more value.
