So by your logic, I'm going to assume expect Johnny Hockey to be sat in place of Bennett because after all, Johnny was just keeping his spot warm for him right, the spot Bennett earned right? And it's not like we should be accounting for anything that happened since training camp right, cause after all none of that would be meaningful or fair to do given Bennett hurt himself on the job.
So we are done here I guess, Johnny out Sam in?

Only option is to sit Johnny, 100% correct, and not even slightly obtuse.
I stated he was one of the best players in camp, and without injury would have dressed for us in October for his 9.
Flames are playing it slow with Bennett, so be it, no where did I suggest he should take first line minutes or pp time now in April. I just take issue with people claiming he hasn't somehow earned it.
<dur> I personally think Bennett is likely overrated, and we should ride Mason Raymond to the promised land. </dur>
