Right. Nobody is saying Sam Bennett has a low hockey IQ. Nobody is saying he shouldn't be playing at centre. Nobody is calling him a bust. And there is no water in the Pacific Ocean.
Pull the other one, it's got bells on. Well, I suppose CP has to have a whipping boy, but let's not pretend that's not what is happening.

Ok I’ll conceed that maybe 2-3 of those posters are a little over the top but most of those are legitimate criticisms. He hasn’t displayed great playmaking ability as a center so far. He does take too many bad penalties. Other players in his draft class that were drafted afterwards have surpassed him so far. He has not produced at any higher rate than a 4th line defensive center over the past season. He probably does need a change to see if it can jump start his career. And none of that means he’s a bust and that there isn’t potential to get way better. Take the rose glasses off and assess his play for what’s it been and what it should be.
