He looks more calm, poised and disciplined. I think he cracks 40 this year.

Even the penalty thing was over done by the media in my mind.
Bennett was 4th on the team in minors last year behind Hamilton , Hathaway and Giordano
In terms of penalties per ice time he was 4th as well behind Hathaway, Glass and Tkachuk.
But he was also 4th on the team in drawing penalties and sat -6 on the season for a differential which was the team's 6th worst behind Hamilton (-20), Backlund (-15), Giordano (-10), Hamonic and Stone
For sure too many in the offensive zone (wish I could look that up) but overall the "feel" was over done.
