I can foresee a scenario where Sam Bennett comes out like a bull in a China shop, hitting everything that moves, averaging 5 hits again and be really effective on the forecheck while creating offense from his physical play. But that won’t be sustainable in the regular season, so he’ll probably fall back into his old 4th overall mindset and try to go around defenders instead of through them and that’ll probably lead to turnovers, bad penalties and missed assignments. We could see him up in press box again if his play reverts back to the old ways.
