Everyone talked about how great the 2014 draft was - at least in the 1st round, but when you look at it overall it was a pretty lousy draft. Pastrnak was a nice find obviously. Ehlers has been great, then you’ve got Nylander and Draisaitl, but a lot of that first round looks really ugly now. Even Ekblad has been a bit of a disappointment.

I agree Bennett is what he is at this point. He might get a bit better but he’s never going to be the star we were all hoping for.

PS. On the bright side at least the Flames didn’t pick Dal Colle.
