I'm glad to see Bennett doing well. I don't hold it against either Bennett or the Flames for his lack of success in Calgary vs Florida. Sometimes people just need a change. It's no different than ANY of us who have done the same during our careers; sometimes you need a change of scenery when things get stale and when you finally get that new job you have a new zest for your life and work. It happened to me recently and sometimes hockey players are no different.

Florida is lucky to have him, but that was never going to pan out that way in Calgary. Yes we saw glimpses of it at times, but those were few and far in between. Just because Bennett had PPG for the last 6 games under Sutter doesn't mean he was going to sustain it. We've all worked for groups where individually we're all good workers but as a team things seem off. That's where the Flames are at now so I'm not buying that Bennett would have found the same success here.

So I'm glad for him and rooting for him to find success in Florida. But I don't look back and think BT should be fired for how much success Benzo is having. It was never going to happen here and I'm just glad the Flames at least got something in return.
