A guy picked 4th overall who becomes Micheal Ferland minus the concussions is a bit of a disappointment compared to expectations (especially when the guy picked before him by your big rival becomes a superstar. But a Ferland type guy is pretty valuable and a guy most teams would want.

Micheal Ferland was given a regular slot on the top line and as much as people liked him here, let’s be honest, he did not produce like a top line player.
Bennett was buried in a permanent blender mainly bottom 6
Good that he bet on himself, because this org failed to get the best out of him
