Also, I have to see Bennett play some hockey as a Flames prospect to proclaim him as a top player in the system. His development is what will make him a top prospect, not his draft position.

No one was arguing that picking Gaudreau is wrong, because obviously he is very talented, but if you picked him just based on his NHL readiness I think that is quite silly.
