Because the Flames need a top-line winger a hell of a lot more than they need Bennett centering the third or fourth line.
The organization did not "ruin" him. I agree that Bennett is a better player than he has shown this season, and a lot of that has to do with his deployment. However, I think it is abundantly clear by now that he has neither the skill nor the on-ice vision and anticipation to be much more than he is.
