Pretty much but I'd go a step further and lable blue chippers as 'can't miss'. Blue chippers are incredibly rare and aren't available every draft. It's especially difficult to assign that label to any goalie (probably since Carey Price). Bennett is as close to 'can't miss' as it gets without being Connor McDavid/Jack Eichel.
