I would say this, as much as it looks at times that Bennett is a bust, there are games and stretches of games where we see the Bennett we thought we were getting when he was drafted.

So unlike other players who have never shown anything , the fact that Bennett has shown he has the tools to be what we thought we drafted puts him in the same category as people like Ferland, Backlund, Jankowski etc. Players that needed time to mature and find consistency.

Bennett just needs more time, AND TIME WITH QUALITY LINEMATES! They set up Chucky to succeed . WTF are they doing to set up Bennett to succeed ??? It's no wonder the guy is having a hard time. Chucky is ready to spread his wings so maybe put him with Jankowski. Put Bennett back with Backlund.
