Backlund

It's fine to be unhappy with Bennett right now, but I caution people against tossing in the towel. Far too early.

I'm not arguing for running him out of town, because I think he could end up being a good Cal Clutterbuck kind of player, but what have you seen to suggest that he has top end talent to produce in the NHL? That one 4 goal game?
I don't think I've ever really seen it. I see a guy who gets pushed to the perimeter and doesn't have the hands/moves to break into the centre of the ice (generally), and doesn't have the speed to beat guys on the outside
