He's 20. I was also disappointed in how Bennett's season unfolded, but these things tend to happen to younger players. Dylan Larkin saw a 17-point drop in his production this year. Ryan Johansson scored 12 points in 40 games in his second NHL season. Mark Scheifele was not even a full-time NHL player until he was 21-years-old.
Again, it is too early to think that this is all that Bennett has to offer.
