That's pretty telling to me.

And the coach that won the Jack Adams with the Flames is the one coach that got the most production out of every other coach.
The Flames management of Bennett has been a complete cluster####. A coaches job is to help develop players as well, and they haven't been doing that with Bennett at all. There's been no patience given to him to give him legitimate opportunities over a prolonged period of time. Yet when playoffs come around, he's been consistently our better players each time.
He's going to thrive elsewhere when he's finally given consistent opportunities rather than only one shift, for one game per month.
