Uhh...well let's ask Drew Doughty shall we? MT lives rent free in that brain from an elbow 2 years ago.
MT 3rd on the team in hits....17 fewer than Sam.
Does MT fight as often? No, thank goodness. He is a MUCH better player and needs to be on the ice, though he will throw down when needed.
Bennett is good at these things, no question, and the team lacks what he brings throughout the lineup as well. That doesnt make Sam superhero fighting guy though. Just means BT needs to find some more of it at a reasonable cost.
