Hall has been a good to very good player since day one, Bennett hasn't.
And I like Bennett. Just don't think he'll ever be an 80 point player.

I don't think the Flames had any intention of using Bennett the same way Taylor Hall was used, we already have 2-3 complementary players on the top line. I think they have been grooming him to be a 2 way player I think it is everyone else's expectations of Sam as a 4th round draft pick. Sam is fine for his salary range, he adds something to the team. I think it is fan expectations that are out of wack. Are the Flames expecting Sam to put up 80 points or are they grooming him to fit a role on the team!?
