People on this board forget his rookie season i think sometimes. Guy was a bulldog always infront of the net and causing havoc. Hartley loved Bennett, and praised him. Gully didnt so much.
Wait for the new system, better linemates then make your jugement. Plenty of players take time to develop, especially players like Bennett.

I hope I’m wrong about Bennett, I would love nothing more than to eat a giant plate of crow this season and there is a small chance that he could still develop into a first line winger. But given his pattern of regression, I think the chances are slim to none. And again, if he doesn’t become a top line guy there is nothing wrong with having a player like him as a solid bottom six guy.
