Coach Q said he hit a home run with Bennett, put him out there in all situations and he is thriving with it. Kind of like Sutter is doing with Kylington. Kylington seemed largely unwanted and useless until Sutter came along.Maybe these 2 Cup winning coaches know something about how to utilize and get the most out of skilled players?

I’d hold my judgement on Kylington until Sutter plays him a lot in the regular season. A lot of games where he got a bunch of ice time was without Hanifin in the lineup (not last night of course) and he’s the closest to Hanifin in skill set.
I keep mentioning this - sure lots of people wanted Bennett in the top line. But a lot also wanted him at centre and that couldn’t happen. Plus Lindholm fit in so well that it was impossible to dislodge him.
Bennett needed not only more minutes, but also a player pretty exactly like Huberdeau, which the Flames lack.
