Well, Darryl played the bottom 6 more in general, so it wasn’t just Bennett. So it’s not like Darryl saved Sam Bennett or something and it’s a joke that that specific narrative continues to be talked about; unless 1 goal in 15 games is a high standard or something. Plus, if I’m not mistaken, I think that goal was the shot going wide that Broissoit ended up scoring on himself.
Regardless, Bennett was never going to work out here. He would’ve needed to surpass 3 established centers and quite simply put, the Flames don’t have the dynamic players that Florida has and we don’t play the all out offensive style Florida plays. Darryl’s system is a defense first style with a lot of checking and dump ins. Maybe had Monahan had been traded for an elite winger, perhaps Bennett could’ve had the 2nd line and the players to succeed with, but it never happened.
