You mean the guy who whined his way off our team because he couldn't sit on 3 hour chartered flights because of his neck?
He totally was a Bennett type player with better hockey IQ. 3rd line grinder who Makarov turned into a 50 goal scorer. Never even came close to that after he left the Flames.
EDIT: After chilling, Roberts was a 2nd line grinder and is 10 times the player that SamBennett will ever be.
