I honestly get the disappointment with Sam Bennett given his draft position. But the need to push him out of the lineup and potentially out of the league every few weeks or so just makes me shake my head.

Bennett is 10th on the team in production / 60 minutes ... that's actual production not just scoring chance rates.

He's 7th in shots / 60
2nd in expected goals / 60
6th in scoring chances /60
and 8th in high danger / 60

He's not even close to a player that won't be reinserted when healthy.

The penalties he takes are annoying, but he's not even the biggest perp when it comes to penalty differential as Frolik is -6 to his -3 (Giordano and Brodie are -4)
