I think a good comparable for Bennett is Gabriel Landeskog. That's the potential level I think he gets to in a year or so.

Before this year Landeskog was good for a reliable 50-60 points, but he played with leadership and a lot of snarl/competitiveness without being a fighter. Sam adds that x-factor when called upon, and his offensive game is growing enough that I could see him around 50 points a season.

That being said, at best he would be our 5th best offensive forward on this team, and that's debatable with Backlund on the team. But like the article says, he brings some factors that don't show up on the stat sheet. I hate the word "intangibles" because it gets overused so often, but Bennett certainly has those intangibles that winning teams need.
