This.

Go back to the draft thread, lots of optimism with this pick as long as he was developed properly. Unfortunately for Bennettm, the Flames Oilers'd him. I think Bennett needed AHL seasoning but there was too much excitement around him at the time. His 4 goal game, etc. didn't help this. Then, by the time it was apparent he needed to be sent down, it was too late and there was no way he'd go through waivers.

I think he's far too young to write of completely. However, I don't know how to get him to the next level playing 3rd line minutes with scraps in the NHL.
