Perlini, drafted 12th has stats very similar to Bennett. Sam’s entering his 5th year in the league and if he was going to breakout in any fashion like others of his draft class (Draisaitl, Nylander, Ehlers, Larkin) it would’ve happened by now. Even Sam Reinhart who has been a bit of a disappointment as a #2 pick is showing signs of progression. Bennett is not.

I thought Bennett could have scored a goal or two last night. He's the whipping boy now I guess.
