I don't think it would be crazy to consider him a "1" if he maintains PPG production.
He's obviously a tier below Barkov, McDavid, MacKinnon, Crosby, Eichel, Point etc. No argument there. But there are a lot of second-tier "#1" centers along the lines of Stamkos, O'Reilly, Toews, Tavares, Backstrom. And Bennett as you noted does a lot that goes beyond production. I honestly think he looks better down the middle than Lindholm does for us.
