There was no physical comparison there. It was all playstyle and skill level

Some comps I see when talking about Benson:

Barzel/Marner with better defense.

I gotta say that when I watch the Leafs play, I always wonder why Austin Matthews gets all the props. I'd much rather have Mitch Marner. If Zach Benson is anywhere near that level of play, we just got a whole lot better.

Ten years ago, this guy was eight years old blowing farts while eating Cheeto’s in his Jammie’s watching SpongeBob. Give him some time for cryin’ a roch plate.

Matthews is an elite goal scorer. That's more sexy than getting assists and playmaking. Hence the attention. I think Matthews is better, but Marner is a FANTASTIC player. As is Barzel
