Anyways, I will only ever remember Bennett as a total failure. Doesn't matter what he does elsewhere. Here, he sucked. That's what matters. Why people insist on talking about him baffles me.

Lots of people believed the player would get better results given better opportunity. Quite simply, that is what is happening now. It is something that had to be evaluated after he left. And when it was evaluated shortly after he left, then some people were saying that he would essentially revert to what they thought he was
Until the Flames draft higher than 4th, he shall be the highest ever draft pick in franchise history, and therefore noteworthy
How his career turns out will be a topic and he will be tied to the Flames
The current management has responsibility for how it played out, for asset valuation, for player development, etc.
And then simply, some people still like the player and are pleased to see him find success
I’m surprised that you would be baffled
