Let him stay, stop benching him (theres other players that are playing worse than him) and let him grow into his game in the big leagues, not against kids where he's only going to develop bad habits that get him comfortable doing things that don't work in the NHL like we saw with Sam Bennett before his recent resurgence.
Plus he's been fine. No one can say hes hurting the team at all and we have no better alternatives.

Definitely not this.
Lots for an 18 year old to learn.
Take a needless offensive zone penalty, bench him. Drives the point home.
Also lots that can be learned from the press box. It's not a free pass to the media buffet.
Seems to me the Flames are handling him perfectly
