An appeal to authority? Seems like an observation of appraisal that has been consistent through three separate coaches, not an appeal of any sort?
Sam Bennett is supposedly some sort of advanced stats darling but the most important numbers paint a pretty bleak picture. Bennett has been surpassed by both Mangipagne and Dube. It's pretty scary to consider, but Sam is tied in the Flames scoring race with Travis Hamonic. Hell, his recent "hot streak" managed to catapult him past Michael Frolik by a couple points, a guy who hasn't played for the Flames in over two months. Sammy is trending to finish the year with 15 points. Not good numbers and just another step backwards.
I will agree with you on one thing. I hope Bennett marches into Brad Treliving's office and demands a trade. We could use the extra cap space and mid-round pick this summer.
