This is so typical and expected. I'm so happy for Sam but at what point does BT face the music? His positives are dwarfed by his negatives. A team with a mid 20s core is regressing by the year. Now it looks like he was plain negligent in Sam's development. Bad linemates, playing out of position and only got the HC right when it was too late. The HC is huge for developing players, and Sam has been mentored and managed by trash his whole nhl career. The whole situation sucks quite honestly, BT should be fired for it. Turned the highest pick in franchise history into a plugger thanks to his roster design and crappy coaching selections. No excuse for this, it's a travesty. If Sam developed in Calgary, it would love been an absolute game changer. Instead he nets a Kris Russel type return after 7 years of butchered development all while getting patted on the back by many. It's an asset he ruined in the first place! He shouldn't get praised for getting an extra 25c on the dollar. Besides, 2 weeks later it looks like 10c on the dollar.
Darryl Sutter was a terrible GM according to most people here. BT voted #2 all time. Darryl Sutter never once pulled a Bennett. Sure, he couldn't draft worth a #### but he never outright ruined his assets either. Never drafted higher than 9. Speaking of that pick, Phaneuf comes closest to ruining an asset but that was injury stuff and he was obviously not the same player at the time of the deal. Im convinced if DS or a quality HC was here with Bennett the whole time instead of getting cute with guys like GG and Peters... and just plain dumb with Ward... we'd be looking at a 50+ point power forward C, a super rare type of player. What a huge, franchise altering clusterf***
