I agree that garbage and worthless are bad terms to use, but Bennett really isn't inspiring much confidence in myself and many other fans. He's regressed in all major statistical categories every single year he's played. He's not passing the eye test either. Outside of one hot streak in December he's looked totally uninterested. I don't see the feistiness or tenacity that I saw a few years ago.
I appreciate that Bingo pulled up those stats, but if you have to dig that deep to find positive statistics you might be in trouble. I didn't even know they tracked half of those stats, that's how obscure they were.
I still maintain that trading Bennett isn't worth it. He won't fetch a good return, he's worth more to the Flames to keep and hope he can figure it out.
