Should this organization be bending over backwards for him?
How can Sam not know that he could be a healthy scratch? Was it that pass to Backlund from behind the net that keeps getting talked about? He must read CP. It's obviously gone to his head.
Jesus.

None of this is incorrect.
But let's be honest here. This is a sports team that needs good PR, good reputation to attract players and coaches. Like any team.
What good does sticking it to Bennett do? Piss him off and get his agent riled up? What benefit for the team, organization or the coach is there?
If a player that hasn't been benched in 6 years is about to get benched, you tell him. Hey Sam, we are sitting you because we don't want you injured prior to trade. Or because we dont like how you are playing/handling the trade request or whatever. But lets keep it private.
Now this is a story for the snet hounds. And Sam has some tales to tell at his next destination. And the organization looks petty and unprofessional.
And for what? Because they didnt want to give the guy a heads up, even a text message or a phone call.
