Because Sam is already a better 2-way NHL’er than Yakupov ever was. Yakupov was useless while Bennett has proven that he’s capable of being a bottom-end 3rd line winger while not playing with good line mates.
I suppose there’s no sense in continuing to debate Bennett. There’s been plenty of information shared on this board that show Bennett has played like a 3rd liner, while playing with bad, non-NHL talent (Jankowski being pretty much the only exception in the last two years).
Just let the kid play and see how he does under a new coach and on a line that features 2 other true NHL quality players. See what happens.
