Well, I don't think you can necessarily blame people for thinking this way. A 4th overall pick who was rated #1 by Central Scouting carries immense expectations. He's regressed every year so far and he's been hurting his team with the type of penalties he takes and the poor overall play. I can see why people would think this. But for the record, I do think Bennett will eventually put it together, even if it takes a few years for him to fully mature. He may not be the #1 center that everyone projected him to be, but I'd be ok with a 2nd or 3rd line center who can score 20 goals and play with a ton of grit and edge.
