He creates. That's good. If he gets better at finishing they'll have a whale of a player. If he doesn't hopefully his teammates get the rebounds, or at very least he creates momentum and wears out the opposition defenseman in the meantime.

Paul Byron was similar with Calgary. Got chances out the yang and couldn't score. Went to Montreal and puts 20 a year there. That might be what Bennett becomes - a bigger Paul Byron. Sure you'd have hoped for more as a 4th overall pick but there are worse things in the world than a guy who can play solid minutes on the PK and drive play with bad finish.
