Whoever acquired Bennett was going to give him a top 6 chance. There was a reason why he was drafted 4th OA and was highly regarded as the top pick in the draft with everything he can do on the ice.
Pretty sure Coach Q’s mentality was “if he doesn’t work out with Huberdeau and Duclair, then I can slot him on the 3rd line.”
Have to give the player a LEGIT opportunity to succeed. Can’t say Calgary did that. Should’ve split Monahan and Gaudreau a long time ago.
