Obviously a more skilled driver in play would’ve been the ideal choice. But like I said earlier, Treliving wouldn’t know a good right winger if it bit him in the ass. Edge and competitiveness is what Treliving wanted and that’s what he got. Had he went with speed and skill, maybe Bennett that line would’ve has more success, but c’est la vie I guess.

Looking a bit like Treliving, or the scouts misread what Bennett needs were, cooked him on the 3rd line maybe expecting him to emerge the way you might develop an average, emerging everyday player?
