Didn't see the game last night, but disappointed to hear Bennett didn't make the most of his top 6 time. I really feel like this has to be Bennett's best year as a pro. Not only for his own career but also for the Flames to really be a team that can go deep in the playoffs. An effective Bennett would go a long way for the depth of the team. But if he doesn't figure it out this year, there's really no point holding out any hope that he is anything more than a mediocre 3rd/4th line player, certainly not one the team needs to include in its vision for ultimate success.
