It is a hard sell considering he is on track for 4G and 14P this season. It is sad to watch a prospect with such great talent get ruined right in front of our eyes.

So he's being ruined is he? Sam Bennett is responsible for Sam Bennett on and off the ice. No one else is. This kid has had the luxury of being given a ridiculously long leash to figure himself out at multiple positions and is simply unable to do so as a pro.
I really cannot understand why anyone would even attempt to make excuses for him at this point. Sportsnet summed it up last game when they mentioned he has something like 15 points in his last 58 games.....4th line production from a guy getting decent minutes with decent linemates is a clear indication he's treading water.
