I'm not punishing Bennett at all (sorry if I gave that impression, but I am not seeing how I did).

I'm just saying that Draisaitl shouldn't be discounted because he started lower and rose through the season. You have to consider the possibility that if it is based on improvement and not just an initial under-ranking, that he could eventually surpass the others.

And I would say that he isn't necessarily in the next tier past the top 3. Many people now include him with the top tier.
