It's more stupid to continually talk about a "potential" on a yearly basis when you look north and that potential has actually become a star and our "potential" is still being talked as a "potential" - both drafted in the same year.
Uh you are talking about a guy who was physically mature the day he was drafted, who still had an atrocious year the only time he played a similar role to what Bennett played last year (look up Draisaitl's 2014-15 NHL season) , who had a full season centering Taylor Hall because there was no Monahan class player up north, and then spent last season on Connor McDavid's right wing and 1st power play as clear second fiddle every moment he hit the ice. Oh and he is 8 months older either way, which is nearly a full draft year of difference.

I admit Bennett's season last year was more underwhelming than it should have been, but he still oozes potential and if he got to play with Taylor Hall next year you would be singing a different tune.
