I get the hate for all things Oiler, but that's just goofy.

I get what you're saying, and I respect your wisdom. But he's looked completely overwhelmed in the AHL and even worse in the NHL.
Maybe he needs a change of scenary, maybe he needs better coaches, or an organization that will take care of his needs.
I'm not necessarily on the Sam Bennett will break out train yet. However with Bennett, at least he gives you options, you can play him throughout your forward lineup and there's a chance that he can do something useful, maybe become a good 2nd line option or bottom 6 grinder that pitches in.
But with Poolparty my sense is its top 6 and wing or bust.
