What? Bennett was easily part of the 1st tier of 4 players - many thought he should be #1, almost all had him top 3 (with Draisaitl 4th).
Then there was a huge drop-off to the next tier (which correctly played out, as the next tier of dal Colle and Virtanen were duds)
Bennett didn't become what the Flames hoped, but they hardly 'screwed up' by using the 4th on him. The screw up came with development.
