You are probably right, but I will say this: I remain much higher on Bennett than I do on Puljujärvi because of how many positive flashes of skill and instinct we continue to see from Bennett. Since he entered the League, and in all his time in the AHL Puljujärvi just looks lost and bewildered. He consistently looks like he has no clue where to be or what to do, and I have serious doubts that he can be serious and focused enough to overcome that at the NHL level. I think most of Bennett’s issues have to do with overthinking and getting into his own way. Puljujärvi on the other hand does not seem capable at all of thinking the game at a high enough level period.
