The problem is that one of those things is dramatically more valuable than the rest put together. And it is the one thing Bennett is massively failing at. If we are going to succeed, we need Bennett scoring goals. Ignoring his lack of actual production in favour of what-ifs is akin to focusing on how buying a Lotto Max ticket means you could win $55 million on Friday while ignoring the fact that you're most likely starting Saturday empty handed.



Anecdote =/= Data.
It's not an appeal to authority ... it's a fact

Down a goal
Shortened bench
Bennett to second line

All facts.

Production is always more valuable than chances, no doubt.

But once my productive guys have been given key roles, I'm filling out my top lines with the guys that create energy, scoring chances, and compete on every shift.

You wouldn't?
