Maybe if Bennett started out on the farm and earned his way onto the team like Ferland did, people would be a little more patient? Bennett has pretty much been handed a spot and has never really lived up to expectations, let alone surpassing any of them, which Ferland has done in spades. Might have something to do with Ferland getting a pass, and Bennett not.

Michael Ferland 83 points in 228 games at 25 years old. (Earned top line minutes)
Sam Bennett 82 points in 218 games as a 21 year old. (Without Johnny and Mony)
All I hear from you guys is emotional opinion.
Weird.
