There’s plenty to criticize Treliving about without pretending he blew the pick as opposed to the pick not living up to consensus scouting.

From the same article: "At his top potential, Bennett is an All-Star, first-line center who can top out at 90-95 points. He could become a team captain down the road and a regular at the NHL Awards and All-Star Game." Another scout says, ""Elite offensive skill and vision. May have the strongest stick in the league. Never gets outmuscled and torques his body to win battles."
Yeah, revisiting the Bennett pick and calling it "risky" is baffling. It was risky like every draft pick is risky.
