Truth is the entire team is playing like theyre drunk or hungover. Theyre all playing bad. Zeroing in on Bennett like a mob with pitch fork and torches is a bit much. At least hes hustling to cover up mistakes made instead of pouting about them.

I'm not entirely against trading him for two reasons:
1) he's a chip that can get you that top line right winger to play with Gaudreau and Monahan...may have to add on our end.
2) I think Jankowski can do as well as Bennett right now, and possibly a lot better. I just haven't seen much progression in Bennett's game over the last 2 years, and Jankowski has done nothing but progress since we drafted him.
I have been waiting for Bennett to be that big difference maker for a while now, and in that time Tkachuk has come in and done a better job of what I think Bennett's game should be about. It's hard not to be impatient with Sam, but he has to start showing something at some point.
