Bennett has a long way to go to be a good NHLer, because right now he's playing at the Zack Kassian level for the Flames. I hope there is more than that from the highest pick in Calgary Flame history, and I expect there is. But at this point, we should not be holding up Bennett as a shining example of anything.
Over to the bashfest of the Oilers and everything Edmonton, yes, Bennett is infinitely better than Poolparty, no doubt about that at this point. But that is what happens when you are ruined by a poorly run organization. Poolparty is garbage, and that is because the Oilers turned him into what he is. Just more proof of E=NG.

disagree ... but this is an Edmonton thread.
JP has always looked like a guy that has trouble thinking the game, this year it looks like the Oilers brass are seeing the same.
They don't have the depth to demote good options, but they are, which says a lot about where his game is.
