I think come April, Sam Bennett will always go Hulk mode. But from Oct-Mar, Sam Bennett will always struggle to find an identity because the way he plays is not conducive to regular season success.
He’s the very definition of a guy who can’t get you to the playoffs, but he can get you through the playoffs. Just an absolute enigma to any GM.

So far this season backlund has been a wasteland so your first paragraph isn’t really a fair comparison.
Best of luck to Sam and I’m sure he will actually flourish on a new team where he’s given top 6 opportunities.
And before everyone gleefully waves him out of town, be careful what you wish for because this team is already charmin soft, and I can’t wait for the takes about how “flames don’t go to the dirty areas”
Either way I’m gonna have to find a new avatar.
