Is Bennett an Andrew Ladd fourth overall or a Benoit Pouliot fourth overall?

At D+3 in Nail Yakupov's career, pretty much everybody on this board was labeling him a bust.
Not calling Sam a bust or comparing him to Yak, but we absolutely need to take off our rose colored glasses and reevaluate our expectations for him going forward.
0 points in 12GP for a 4OA pick in his D+3 year is closer to bust material than it is to 3rd line material. No two ways about that.
