No, Florida doesn't have some magical formula that turned Bennett into a #1 center overnight. It just highlights how truly poor the Flames roster is. As good as Gaudreau can be when he's actually trying, nobody on the team can take over a game like Barkov or Huberdeau can, and that's been the difference. They make everyone on the team with them better.
Florida's top guys actually play like top guys. The Flames' top guys play like they want to be traded.
