Bennett was trashed here by plenty. I always felt he was a good player that was misused by the organization. He's a bull in a china shop type of player and the Flames simply didn't understand that he needed to play with skilled players to get the best of him. He was a terrible match for Gulutzan's perimeter system and buried him in the bottom six while Peters/Ward gave him brief opportunities in the top 6 but lacked the patience to let chemistry develop. Darryl being by far the sharpest of the coaches knew quickly that Bennett was special but he was in the picture too late.
