I like and will miss Benny, but hands?! Lethal accurate shot?! If he had those things he’d have been a 20 goal scorer and stuck on the first line.

Come playoff time he's good at driving the net with his hands of stone enough times that sometimes the puck ends up in the back of it. Also hitting anything that moves while rocking a ginger duster that your girlfriend would cheat on you with.
But that's about it.
Bennett does not snipe, he shuffleboards the puck in while letting his body do 85% of the work.
