I know it’s popular now to say Bennett looked good in his rookie season but that’s not my recollection. He mostly scored the same goals as he gets now, stuff ins created by others, weird bounces, etc. He was really inconsistent, but not just because he’d go a month without a point - because when he didn’t get a goal he was just not noticeable. When Tkachuk was on the ice in his rookie year you knew it.
Go back and look at the Bennett thread from his rookie year. People were unhappy with his play and his supporters were insisting that he’d do better if only he was at centre (and also they were insisting he be put on the first PP unit).
