The problem is Sam Bennett gets severe tunnel vision when he gets the puck, I don’t know how many times I’ve seen him look down for too long, miss an outlet pass, then be easily removed from the puck or end up trying to go one on one vs the guy in front of him, turn it over then hack, whack and hook his way into a bad penalty.
He’s almost too competitive to a fault. Wants to deke the next guy right out of his pants, never wants to lose the puck, never wants to lose a puck battle. If only his physical tools were more polished or he had more awareness, he could probably pull off more plays and actually play in the top 6/PP.
