Bennett can't process the game at NHL speed. Not well enough to be an offensive threat at this level. And he has a weak shot.
He has useful skills - skating, hitting, can carry the puck and drive the net. But he's going to have to move on from his expectations of being a big scorer and reinvent himself. Model his game off a guy like Raffi Torres, who was never the player he was drafted to be (drafted #5 OA), but still carved out a role and played 13 seasons in the NHL.
That kind of dramatic change in expectations and outlook typically only happens after a player is traded from the team that drafted him.
