It could have been. I was saying at the time that while not being able to do a pull-up isn't a big deal on its own, if a team had 2 prospects basically even, it could have been the tie-breaker.

I'm glad we got Bennett as we have time on our side right now, but Draisaitl, being more physically mature and with comparable talent, was a good pick for either team.
