Yeah look.. I personally think it's foolish to beat this particular drum at this point in time. There's no saving face about it, the Flames f'ed this one up with Bennett. Teammates, coaching, player role and developmental plan, etc.
Highest draft pick in org history - "Yeah we're still trying to figure out who Sam Bennett is"
What a joke
With the Panthers he's been played at C with good to elite wingers, they got Tkachuk on his wing and the two of them are seeing far more success in the first two years with the Panthers than in their entire tenure with the Flames. It's nice getting a 45-50pt 4.4m/yr 2nd line center that performs in the playoffs for..... an afterthought 2nd round pick.
14 points in 8 ####ing playoff games guys
Who woulda thought? Oh, that's right.
About a good 15-20 of CPers, myself included, who repeatedly bitched about his usage literally the whole ####ing time he was here. Thanks for proving us right Sam.
