Biggest difference is that Yakupov was playing with Hall, McDavid, RNH, etc in a top 6 role for the majority of his time and the only thing he brought to the table was offense.
Bennett is more well rounded and can produce at ES in a 3rd line role with Jankowski, Hathaway, Brouwer, Lazar etc as linemates.
That is a big difference. Sometimes total points don't tell the whole story.
But by all means the Flames should trade him for a back of pucks, and label him a bust because who needs the 5th most productive player at ES on the team.
