I like the way Bennett plays on the wing but he needs to be smarter cause he takes too many penalties.

I don’t think there’s a player on this team that management expected more from, only to see crash and burn. Bennett has seen every situation this season, top line, 2nd line, 3rd line, special teams and etc, but he hasn’t done anything to impress.
His season crumbling the way it has hurt the team. When you have more minor penalties than you have points, you’re hurting the team. When your +/- is 2nd worst on the team with a -18, you’re hurting the team. I wouldn’t be surprised if Bennett is dealt this season ala Baertschi. If he didn’t take so many undisciplined, boneheaded penalties, then I’d probably be able to live with his lack of production, but too many goals against as result of his play, so I wouldn’t miss him too much.
