I have watched very little of Benson, so take this with a grain of salt...
In all the stuff I've seen, he reminds me of a (much) more highly skilled version of Mike Richards. He just always seems to be in the right place, always busting his ass doing the little things to make plays, always making the guys around him look better because he will do anything to make a play, especially if the other team has the puck. He probably won't do as well in some of the non-hockey measurements and tests as a lot of other guys, but he just knows how to play. I'm very much hoping for Michkov, but I'd be thrilled with Benson.
