Fellow 4OA Benoit Pouliot went from less than zero to something after leaving MIN. Nothing hugely impressive, but enough to eventually land a 5x4M deal from the grease (LOL).
Olli Jokinen wasn't much in LAK or NYI...two more poor years in FLA before he figured it out...
Blake Wheeler (probably just depthed out in BOS).
Mika Zibanejad. Kyle Turris. Ryan Strome. Brett Connolly. Nino Niederreiter.
All of the above were viewed as disappointing top 6 picks at one time. Few became full blown heroes (at least not immediately), but all went on the show more than they did at their first home.

Did any of them take 7 yrs to show something?
Bennett upside now is Blake Comeau IMO
