Might be time to move him, this teams roster looks ugly without backs down the middle.

Trading him is easy, that is something wishful fans do in the middle of the season. Bennett is not the only Flame that struggles at times, Backlund did, Frolik was benched, even Ferlund struggled last season. Bennett has shown he can be an impact player just not on offense. We know that. The coaches job is to help him play with more consistency. BT himself said trading Bennett wasn't an option and that he has work it out with the team. Still every time he struggles someone wants to trade him, just like they do with Neal; Look at Hamonic and how many people wanted him gone last season. You just have revisit last seasons posts to see how ruthless the comments were. Some people insisted BT had failed and that Hamonic was complete useless waste some people went as far as trashing him. Same with Brodie
but it seems the same people never learn they just keep insisting, rehashing. and trashing whichever player is the designated whipping boy at the time. Bennett is what he is, he just has to be more consistent. We already know he is not going to the offensive guy but he has proven can be a solid 2 way player.
