Draisaitl was always going to figure it out eventually, he just needed to fix his mobility and take some power skating classes. That was all that was missing. He had everything else.

The same could be said for Bennett as far as projecting to be a great player. It’s just the misery of his time in this incompetent organization that has people thinking otherwise. Bennett showed the potential he had in his rookie season, and after that the organization did what it did.
Hell, Bennett put up 8 points in 10 playoff games last year as a centre with Lucic and Dube. He proved he could perform at a high level at the most important time of the year in the most important position. This team then made no space for him and slammed him down the roster to start this season because they yet again doubled/tripled down the players that they always have (despite no success).
It’s just pure incompetence.
