Sam Bennett played with Monahan and Gaudreau this season quite often and didn’t look anything like he does with Florida. He can’t play a purely skilled game in the long run, he has to hit, be physical, go hard to the net and play in the guts of the game.
It’s a new team, new situation for him and he’s probably still jacked. But once the novelty wears off and he’s playing in game 50 next season, he won’t be playing with the same jump. So I don’t really think what we’re seeing from him now is what he will be going forward either. So he really shouldn’t be relying on the one on one stuff long term, it’s not a sustainable style for him IMO.
