Well if the comparison is Toews, he did fall to #3 because Jordan Staal went ahead of him. Looking back you'd have to think the Pens would have rather gotten Toews than Staal. In the future either Buffalo or EDM may have similar regrets about passing on Bennett and letting him fall to us if their guy doesn't measure up.
To some he did fall. Both CSS and Redline had him as the best player in the entire draft and we got him at 4. Falling is falling, doesn't have to be a huge fall IMO for it to be a fall.
