I have a question here regarding Bennett's utilization and "mismanagement" of his time on the Flames. Since it is clear he has the tools of a top 9 center (top 6 if we want to be generous), when and why was he never able to secure a spot over Backlund?
Yes these are two different players and have different roles on the team, but why was Bennett never really given a fair shake at a stable line in the top 6?
And don't say playing wing, because I want to know why he never was able to center a line in the top 6 for maybe more than 50 games in the 400 games he played for the Flames.
