If Bedard is set to be a generational talent then Benson is very close to be a generational talent himself.
I took each player's top 20 games with their highest shots on goal respectively and wanted to see what kind of an impact that had on their team's success.
I did not count their PP goals and assists as i deem 5vs5 and 4vs5 a much better measure for a player's actual impact on the team.
| Benson | Bedard |
Shots on Goal | 105 | 188 |
Game winning goals | 5 | 6 |
Insurance Goals | 2 | 4 |
Short Handed Goals | 3 | 3 |
Game Winning Assist | 1 | 3 |
Insurance Assist | 3 | 2 |
Short Handed Assist | 1 | 0 |
EN Goal | 0 | 3 |
EN Assist | 3 | 0 |
Short Percentage | 17.10% | 18.10% |
Short Percentage -EN Goals | 17.10% | 16.50% |
Games Won | 18 Wins | 10 Wins |
Win Ratio | 90% | 50% |
Team's Reg Season Ratio | 84% | 50% |
Conclusion, aside from the PP points and the increased number of shots i do not see the generational gap between Bedard and Benson.
Is Benson a generational talent? I mean he's making a good team better. Bedard on the other hand had no impact on his team's performances.
