I agree that RNH was mishandled and probably didn't reach his potential (although he is still young and part of that had been due to injuries) but his ceiling was way lower than most of the other top picks. Like I said no amount of development was going to turn RNH into Stamkos or Tavares. If you look at the draft as a whole it was pretty weak. No real stand out players and not very deep.
