Wouldn't it be great to be able to say "Sam Bennett makes his linemates better" as opposed to "Sam Bennett needs better linemates to be better"? The difference between those statements, in my opinion, is pretty telling of who Sam Bennett is.

I know he's young but I really don't see the same upside as a lot of you guys still do. I see him as a good 3rd line guy who can play in your top six on and off. That's not a bad thing, but it isn't really what you hope for with a 4th overall pick.
