Bennett is pretty much the Flames team wrapped up in a player. Buried very deep under confidence issues he is a player that shows flashes of what he could be. The harder he tries, the tighter he grips the stick, the worse it looks on the ice. I don't doubt that the effort or skill is there, but much like the Flames his expectations of himself and of the fan base lead him to self destruct in the worst circumstances. What he needs is a coach that can separate him from the pressure, play to his strength and let the cards fall as they may. If he can find his game in the next 1-2 years, then much like the team, the proverbial window will open.

Lets hope they can get him going with this change up. Nothing more is needed right now from him. When you look at his OHL stats and compare there is something mentally going on with the player which a good coach should be able to unlock.
