He might not have the highest IQ to read plays in the open but he can just stick himself to the oppositions best player and make them uncomfortable.
If Bennett becomes a physical shutdown centre who can chip in 15 goals and 30 points, that is a very valuable asset.
I’m curious to see if this continues against Petterssen tommorow.

If they were facing off, as was suggested, that’s Tippet’s choice that McDavid was facing Bennett.
