I know Bennett has to shoulder a lot of the blame, but I still wonder what could have been right before GG stepped in as HC.

Go back and read the posts - Bennett was excelling as a winger with Backlund & Frolik, everyone here was salivating saying "this will be our #1C, with Monahan as #2 - we are good to go!"

Then in comes GG, Bennett is relegated to 4th line, and is benched any time he makes a mistake. Completely destroyed the kid's confidence. Flames should NEVER hire a coach with the initials GG again as it appears they are the worst coaches in the history of the Flames.

Treliving really, really, really blew it with that hire.
