I think if the flames plan is to have him develop on the 3rd line with a rookie C and some grinder on rw, then they might as well give up on him and trade him for whatever.

I thought he looked amazing after being moved to wing and having jagr on his line. At some point he seems to have lost any and all confidence.

Either play him in the top 6 with high skill players to get him going or ship him out.

He's not good enough to carry his own line in the nhl yet. It's taking the flames forever to figure out that whatever they think they are doing to develop Bennett is failing.
