McCaan was rushed into the NHL we all know that. He had a cocky little boy entitlement attitude to go along with his immaturity. Had we left him a year longer in junior he may have been a great surprise for us. We were so desperate for some exciting young players both he and Virtanen were rushed.
and Gillis
You sure about that one? It sounds quite forced on your part, like you didn’t want to

McCann - “is a superstar. He’s on Team Canada! The Worlds FFS! To be rubbing shoulders with Tyler Bertuzzi, Adam Henrique, Matthieu Jossph, Kyle Turiris, Anthony Cirelli, Dylan Strome, Anthony Mantha, Darnell Nurse, Damon Severson, Troy Stecher, is a ringing endorsement to the special player that he is!. Foundational!”
How come Gudbranson wasn’t asked?

Is he gone yet?
That's like; Are we there yet? I remember on their Labor Day vacation when Christina Applegate said that in the back seat
of the Bundy family red Mustang.

Also the guy who realized fairly soon into Gudbranson’s tenure that he was not much of a hockey player.

February 2019: The Vancouver Canucks traded Erik Gudbranson to the Pittsburgh Penguins for Tanner Pearson.

Yeah it's only the worst example of the declining returns Benning seems to muster.
Garrison+7th -> 2nd -> Vey -> Nothing
Mallet+3rd -> Pedan -> +4th -> Pouliot -> Nothing
Kassian+5th -> Prust -> Nothing
Then there's the Kesler tree:
