Punishment is old style management. The goal isn't to make Bennett feel worse. The goal is to give him the tools to do what he does best and maybe the organization has not done enough of that. Another way to look at this is, how would Johnny have done playing with the same line-mates on the 3rd line that Bennett had before Jankowski? I bet Johnny would be scoreless for long periods as well. Maybe frustrated especially if he was asked to take on the center role. Maybe the Flames didn't quite handle Bennett the best way or maybe they should have given him more opportunities to focus on what he does best?.
