Slow start?
This is what he has done for going on 5 years now. He has improved...none. It now looks like he may actually be regressing a bit, which is hard to do when you start so low. What was it? 280th in offense in the league last year?
Just to repeat a comparison done before
Nail Yakupov 1st overall, 350 GP, 136 pts, .39 PPG, 142 PIM
Sam Bennett 4th overall, 331 GP, 121 pts, .37 PPG, 284 PIM
At what point is Bennett actually going to be held responsible for his position in the game?
Yakupov ends up in Siberia for good reason, meanwhile we have a poster on this board thinking Bennett should be a 1st line center.
Mind boggling stuff to me.
