Brouwer played 7 less games and scored 1 less point than Bennett. Most people in this forum believe he shouldn't play in the NHL while at same point figuring Bennett deserves more money cause he is young and has talent.
I will always believe that you should be paid for what you do not your potential.
No Apollo Mission on that thought for you to miss. Once he starts putting bigger numbers up then he should be considered for a raise. If he want to sign a short contract to have more bargaining power after a couple good seasons all the power to him.

Yes. His field is hockey. And he is in the top 0.1% of hockey players on earth, despite relatively underperforming.
No one is saying Bennett should be getting paid elite money. But through his hard work he has earned his way to the elite of his field and the ability to pay someone who speaks on his behalf in regards to salary and that person is doing what they can to maximize their client's (and their own) compensation. Why? Because a 20 year old with barely a high school education is not in a position to debate contracts with professionals.
You're acting like he was just gifted this entire road of being a 20 year old NHL hockey player.
And your also forgetting the key point that this is a BS unsubstantiated rumor that I 100% guarantee did NOT come from Sam Bennett's mouth.
