It's possible that Bennett never even fully rescinded his trade request. We still lack information, and I think it's unfair to make such angry and definitive conclusions like this.

It's a pretty standard nice thing to say by a fairly new coach to a guy that's leaving, IMO. He probably said something similar to Rittich.
