What are you talking about? Again your first paragraph makes no sense at all. How do you answer the question without the use of hindsight? Without the use of present day knowledge of what his value was? You need both.
Let me put it this way. 2 years ago I had $100 that I bought stock X with. 1 year ago my stock value was $50. Today it’s $10. Did I hold onto my money too long?
Without the use of hindsight, knowing what my stock was when I bought it, $100 and then further knowing I could have sold it for $50 (again, hindsight), I would have no idea if my $10 was higher value in the past, and if I should have sold it sooner. Thus I must use hindsight to answer the question. This is the exact same thing.

There is little doubt, Bennett's value will never be as high, as it was after his 18-goals season. So yes, the Flames have hold on him too long.
