He is our highest draft draft pick ever (well, since the team moved to Calgary anyways) so there is no reason why statements like these shouldn't be literally true.

There's a theory that NHL teams need consistency. One system that you stick to. One style of play and guys who fit into it.
I prefer adaptability. If the peg doesn't fit the hole, use a different peg, not a bigger hammer. Multiple systems that you can switch between if an opponent figures you out. Different types of players who can give your opponents different problems.
With that perspective, a Monahan and a Bennett might be better than two Monahans, or even two Bennetts.
