I think like most others have stated, he seems to just have confidence issues and maybe not the strongest IQ. I hope this is a new Sam Bennett out there and not the one that goes back into his mental cave. He or Jankowski really are the keys to making us a contender with three strong lines.

Please elaborate on SO many opportunities with very skilled players?.?.? His first full season he played wing with Backlund and Frolik and did fairly well. Last season played 3rd line centre with not very skilled players and started this year the same before moving to wing. Most of his career has been on the third line with good players but not highly skilled ones.
