It's not uncommon for young underachieving high-drafted players to get traded around their 4th season for just that reason. In fact, it's probably more common than the team that drafted him hanging onto him into season 6 or 7.
Let's not pretend what's happening with Bennett is unique. It feels like that to Flames fans, because he's our highest pick ever. But what's happening here isn't that unusual. And it won't be at all surprising if he gets moved.

What was your take on Hall when he was with the oilers? Pretty sure a lot of people felt he was a bust. Just goes to show that not everyone knows what they are talking about. Bennett is only 21, lets give him some time with a new coach. There are situations in life I would rather see for myself and make my own observations; Too many times I have seen the person who was preaching the same stuff over, and over actually turned out to be wrong. We saw this during the Vegas expansion, quite a number of posters acted as if they were speaking from a position of knowledge but were
completely wrong about the situation. It is great to have a topic that welcomes various viewpoints and while you have some strong views regarding Bennett lets support and encourage others to have varying viewpoints because it is the right thing to do.
