Great insight. Let’s break it down. 4 coaches, you say?
He was good as a rookie under Hartley as a wing with a regular shift with Backlund and Frolik. That was the end of his top 6 deployment, as Gulutzan slotted Tkachuk in there straight away.
Gulutzan was a bad coach, who should feel bad, and bounced him around with many bad linemates.
Peters - well, he is not on too many pedestals these days. Bennett is the best forward in the playoffs, and he rewards him with pretty much nothing.
Who is the fourth coach he has played for again?
Bennett’s development stalled after Hartley and that coincides quite well with deployment.
And have any players this year done better under Ward than Peters?
Why the love of crapping on Bennett? He hasn’t had stable quality linemates since his rookie season.
Let the new coach do his job
