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.

I would agree Bennett has physically matured a lot already.
Draft:
Now:
You can clearly see, just from the face shot, he looks way thicker in the neck and shoulders. He's balding heavily. At 200+ lbs he's definitely physically matured. He just needs to play smarter.
