Surprised at the results. I think Tkachuk is the best player and Bennett has shown a lot more than Pulju. Calgary duo all day.
Clearly haven't been following Bennett this year but he's been spectacular. He's tied for 15th in the NHL in individual high danger scoring chances (only 3 behind the leader) and has the 3rd lowest amount of ice time out of anyone in front of him. He's also 19th in the entire NHL in individual expected Goals For per 60 minutes (ixGF/60) @ 1.15. His scoring chance rates and high danger chance rates are also spectacular whereas Puljujarvi's (I actually like JP) are very, very poor.
In short, Bennett has had a spectacular season 5v5 thus far and is very snake-bitten but if he continues playing as great as he has, his puck luck will normalize as the season goes on.

I'm a Flames fan but I'm so sick of hearing these excuses for Bennett.
Has he been unlucky into his 3rd straight season now or is he just terrible at finishing?
The guy has no finish. At all. He's a bad player who plays hard, nothing more.
Have you seen what happens to Tkachuk anytime he tries to touch Draisiatl?Chucky and Bennett would destroy the Oilers duo in a street fight.
But none of those stats refuted his point that perhaps Bennett just sucks at finishing. There's actual stats to back that up in his pedestrian goal and points totals over the past few years despite having a very high ixGF/60 last year.I mean, every analytical statistic and even the eye test completely disagree with you.
Ask any Flames fan and 90% of them will tell you he's been fantastic this season.
But to each their own.
Pettersson was not drafted in 2016.Add Pettersson and Virtanen lol

So what you are saying is he has no finish and a poor shot. Thanks for the clarification of why he is not producing and never has. I appreciate you sharing those facts with me
Literally explained it in the post above yours but great to know you don't know how to read.
I guess you will be paying Tkachuk 8.5M x 8 then.Tkachuk > Leon
Bennett and Pulju are a wash at this point.

Good 3 point game but let the guy have a 60pt season first before declaring him to be > Draisaitl.
Tkachuk may be shinier but for me its Monahan > Tkachuk easily.
He's had better underlying stats than drai his entire career, and has easily surpassed him in point production this year while being younger. Not sure how you can argue the opposite tbh. Love to see you try though!Username checks out.
