It’s above my pay grade to place that precisely
Bennett had complimentary comments about his level of enjoyment under Darryl, Darryl reportedly said he wished he coached Sam longer, Sam enjoyed an expanded role under Darryl including PK (notably successful).
Hm, a player who said he enjoyed playing under the new coach, and 6 points in his last 6 or 5 in his last 4
13 points in 9 games with his new team
Yeah. He was never going to work out
Not under this GM
Lol
Extend the GM

So what was that first game where he popped against Montreal then? An anomaly? Because a lot of people swore that was turning point for Bennett. Then he proceeded to be shut out for 8 games. Yes, he had a nice stretch afterwards, but I don’t buy the narrative that he just figured it out and was going to go a point per game the rest of the season because well, Darryl. He was playing on the 4th line for crying out loud, it was very much possible that he would’ve gone the next 6 games pointless.
It’s over. Sam Bennett is a Panther now and there’s nothing any Flames fan can do about it. So just enjoy what he’s doing as a Florida Panther now. He’s having fun, playing with confidence up the ying yang right now and he’s gonna get a real nice payday out of it. We as Flames fans got some nice memories and a decent return out of him. So it’s time to move on and focus on how to make the red and yellow better tomorrow, rather than yesterday.
