Bennett v. Lucic sitting isn’t just a matter of who’s playing better. It’s who benefits from working through issues on ice to improve versus who needs to watch a game from the press box to improve.
Lucic to me is clearly a guy who gets better with more use. He doesn’t need to watch a game from up high to see where mistakes are made. His giveaway the other night was an execution error - he partially fanned an ill-advised pass, and he knows it. Sam, on the other hand, has positional and strategic issues which maybe need some reinforcement from watching the game.
