Nobody expects him to produce like a top six player.
They expect him to outproduce his competition in the bottom 6, or at the very least look better than the rest while doing it.
The last two seasons he was outpaced by Mark Jankowski and this season he's been outpaced by Milan Lucic, and basically matches with Tobias Rieder. None of those guys are fed top six opportunities either.
What exactly is special about Sam Bennett?
I haven't seen you produce any worthwhile argument to demonstrate there's anything wrong with how he's been utilized.
As for his agent, I would imagine Sam Bennett is extremely happy to be paid significantly better than other similar guys on the same team, and better than most RFA's with his point production, AND have a contract for next season too.
