I wouldn't say Bennett fell at all. It was more of a coin flip as to who Buffalo was going to take between the two Sams and Edmonton's choice was leaked a couple of months before the draft so there was really no surprise there when they took Leon.
Bennett is/was the perfect choice for the Flames. I mean I personally would have taken Ekblad if there was a choice but Bennett was absolutely the #2 choice, and there was no real gap between Ekblad and Bennett. End of the day though, any of the top four from the 2014 draft would be an amazing pick . Too Bad the Oilers like to ruin their kids right out of the gate. I like Draisaitl.
