The guys on Hockey Central were just discussing young Sam and it was an interesting back and forth.
Kypreos basically saying that Bennett is going to want to get paid when he looks at those guys around him in his draft and what they are earning. But he cant expect to be paid because he isnt putting up the points because he hasnt had the opportunity (which is not exactly true). there was some inference that he may want to go elsewhere so he can be "the guy".
Which brings me full circle back to a part of this debate i brought up a few weeks ago.
What does this guy get paid after this season? What if he wants 5 million a year because he is doing everything being asked of him (other than production thus far) and accepting a role that wont really see him get all the prime scenarios to put up big points. Injuries will still probably help answer this question before all is said and done this season....one way or the other.
