I mean, he's done sweet #### all playing along side Johnny Gaudreau and Sean Monahan. He's done about the same playing with Matt Tkachuk and Mikael Backlund. I really wish people would stop saying that Sam Bennett is some sort of star in the making. He's a third to fourth line player with very limited skill. No, he doesn't dangle with regularity. His strength is north south and making a mess around the net. As far as his limited success, if you took where all of his goals were scored from, and stacked them up end to end, you are hard pressed to get to reachthe hash marks. People call Monahan a garbage man, but Bennett literally scores his goals from inside the blue paint of the crease. He is not going to become some star or scoring sensation. If he was traded to Edmonton he goes and replaces Chaisson and achieves the same level of success, which isn't much. |
Relax. I was making a tongue-in-cheek comment about the possibility of that trade haunting the Flames and the reason why it wouldn't be wise to deal with the Oilers. I never said he was a star in the making.
