I still like Sam Bennett. Glad he is doing well with another team.
We played him with junk linemates for years. He was not a bottom six forward but we used him as one. Did he get a fair chance in Calgary?
Well Monahan was the top center and Backlund was number two. So we made him a winger. Then we signed Troy Brouwer, and James Neal. The coaches played these scrubs over Bennett. Then Steve Chiasson.
Did we mishandle Bennett?
James Neal, Troy Brouwer, and Steve Chiasson had way more opportunity than Bennett ever had.
Did we mishandle Sam Bennett? Look at the three players listed above.
Yes we screwed that up.

Lanny will never admit he was wrong about Bennett. The guy could going to win a Hart trophy and he would say it was because his numbers were inflated because of someone else or he wished upon a star, or some other lame excuse.
