Look at regular season stats - Bennett's aren't special. Yes, he had a great PO, but his Conn Smythe could as easily been won by 3 other guys. There's past Conn Smythe winners who are not elite guys. Bennett is more like Butch Goring or Bill Ranford or Brad Richards or Claude Lemeiux.
And Reinhart was a great defenceman who they used as a winger sometimes because he was such a great skater. He's a guy who I could see playing today, as opposed to some from the 80s.
