If they put him in a positive headspace and they’re truly hoping he succeeds, it seems to have worked. The Flames really didn’t give him good looks and the results show. Whatever they’re doing seems to work. Treliving should be commended on the return he got because it was good based on the lack of production. Would be nice to have this Bennett for the second line right now.

The same problem still exists with the Flames today - the team does not have a dominant, puck possession center, which puts too much of the weight on the wingers to create scoring chances and ultimately score more goals.
Monahan is just complete garbage that brings nothing to the team and Lindholm, like him or not, would be far better suited to the 2C role or top line wing on a very good team. Eichel is a lifeline to salvage this mess if he can be acquired and gets healthy, but otherwise you're going to have players that can never fully hit their max output based on this teams current configuration.
You suck BT.
