I'm just going ahead and bumping this thread, because Sam Bennett talk is drifting over into multiple threads, such as one particular play being discussed in the trade and speculation.

Honestly, the dislike for this player that a few posters have is getting to the point where I have an immediate impulse to defend Bennett, even if momentary negatively might be warranted. There has always been a whipping boy on this site, whether it's Butler or Boumeester or whomever, but this is the first player that I can think of where the fault in his on-ice production is the fault in his development by the club.

It does make for an interesting discussion, but reviving this thread will keep it together.
