It's beginning to look like the issue with Sam Bennett was his development and how he was coached in Calgary, more than actually being a disappointing pick.

To your point not a superstar or in the realm of Draisaitl who went 3rd overall...but really in terms of historical 4th overall picks really isn't a bad pick.
He's averaged under 40 pts a season over his career. That's disappointing for a top 5 pick. Outside the top 10 I'd say strong value. Top 5 that's average value.
