Had high hopes from the very start with the player, but it is just not working here.

It would be astonishing if he were to even match his rookie point total thus season at this point. There is little to zero signs of life here.
It's probably best for Bennett and the Flames that they move him. Perhaps he can salvage his career elsewhere. For the Flames it is particularly disappointing because they clearly wanted the kid to push Backlund into the 3rd line C role, thus making him expendable and moving forward with monahan, Bennett, and Jankowski down the middle. It would have set em up for years
Best GG Flames can do now is move the asset for an equally struggling forward, or a 2nd round pick. A year ago (even a month ago) I would have laughted still such a trade proposition, but again it is not working here for Bennett.
Some other team will get to decide where to play him.

At that point i just keep him another year.
