I don't disagree, Flash.
For me personally, when I watch Bennett I see a lot of potential still.
I wish we could go back in time and not have two years of GG trying to turn Sam into a checking forward and beating all of the creativity out of him.
After that awesome no-look assist to Andersson in the first round, the HNIC panel was praising his offensive instincts, and I think it was Kypreos who said something to the effect of Bennett is a guy that would potentially explode on a new team.
Sam's underlying numbers with Backlund and Tkachuk were good. As were the numbers of that entire line. I would like them to try it again for 20 games or so. If it doesn't work after that, I guess I'm wrong. But I feel the organization owes it to itself to give the highest draft pick in team history some legitimate line mates for more than handfuls of games.
