Tangradi was allways a talented power forward, but his skating is just not good enough to play in the NHL and he couldnīt improve it.
Bennett is a lot smaller and more a goalscorer. He really worked hard, added a lot of weight and he also improved his skating speed in the last years. He allways had a good shoot and very good hands in general.
The Penguins didnīt send him down, so right now it looks like he will stay with the big boys and especially in his last games, he didnīt look out of place. Iīm high on him, but not because heīs playing with Malkin, itīs more because i like the mix of talent, work ethic and teammates.
He definitely wasn't comparing their playing style or potential, simply comparing the hype that comes with the chance of lining up beside Crosby or Malkin.
