Saying comparing Bennett to Draisaitl is the same as comparing McDavid to Rasmussen Anderson is not something I agree with.
Yes, but the point of saying comparing Bennett-Draisatl is like comparing McDavid-Andersson is because we didn't pass on Draisatl to take Bennett, much like we didn't pass on McDavid to take Andersson, so there's no point in being upset that Draisatl appears to be the better player at this point. The comparison uses hyperbole to illustrate the point.
