Bennett was given more opportunity but the fit was way better than anything in Calgary. And if it had taken a while to gel (like when Bennett got a few games with Gaudreau) who knows what they would have done.
Sometimes it just clicks on one team where it didn’t on another.
With Kylington it’s clear that Sutter wasn’t happy with his habits and now he is. I’m a bigger proponent of playing through mistakes and learning curves myself but that’s not the route Sutter (and Ward) took and maybe they were right.
