The point is Derek Wills is not a neutral hockey observer...according to him the team was full of great players having great seasons last year. Yet they missed the playoffs by 11 points somehow.
Troy Brouwer was often one of the "best Flames players on the ice" in his mind (a buyout by the very guy that signed him would suggest otherwise) He is too close to the team I strongly question his ability to evaluate player performances.
Anyone who suggests Bennett played better than Gio or Monahan in China is obviously trying very hard to cut the guy some slack. Bennett was okay...needs to be better, as do others.
