I have seen coaches succeed by sticking with their best players at least as often as trying to change to ride a temporary hot hand.

Obviously bennett will never be the flames best player on a full season basis. but for 5 games in april he was consistently our only forward willing to play and to play effectively night in night out.
And there are times to send messages. we may disagree but I think sending a message in game 1 of 82 that passengers will not be tolerated and good play rewarded is the approach I would take
