Getting sense Bennett is starting to get knocked because he is known as the work ethic guy. He's got tons of skill http://www.wgr550.com/pages/18455692

Is the speed enough? How about the shot? The first step? The competitiveness? I have no more facscination with Bennett than most of you have with Reinhart so get over it back at ya! The prominent board has Bennett #1 and the Kris Baker boards have Reinhart #1. It will be a fun Friday night.

If ur basing your opinion solely off of CSS you might want to reconsider. Just look at the previous drafts as to where they rated previous players. Niño neiderriter was rated 5th overall, ahead of the likes of Jeff skinner. I think grigorenko was rated really high in the 12 draft. Had Luke scheme rated wayyy ahead of Myers and karlson.

You're doing the same to Reinhart but with the opposite of the work ethic guy.

I agree that Bennett does have tons of skill. I just prefer reinhart.

That's fine, it will be a very interesting draft. Not that the top end players will be franchise players but who knows who gets picked when.

What about the argument that the best prospects, and those who turn into better pros, come from the OHL (Bennett), while The WHL does a little less to get teenagers ready for the NHL (Reinhardt)? If 2 prospects are close--and nobody can deny the Sams are ranked close--wouldn't the environment they come from factor into it by smart GMs and the kid from the tougher league would get an edge?

I'd say having a father and two older brothers that are/were in the NHL is a pretty good thing to have.
