It's the right time of year to show case your best stuff, and I actually think Bennett is a playoff gamer. But catching him in the middle of the best two weeks of his entire career and saying, look we were right he's so awesome is very convenient.
If we see multiple seasons of strong performances then fair ball, but one strong playoff performance does not make one a great player. Lots of very average to below average players looked like gems in Calgary's 04 run, but they weren't strong players overall.

How many seasons are we going to need? It’s 3 and counting now. We have seen a very strong finish the year he was traded, plus two full productive seasons as a top 6 C. Plus his line just being called out in the playoff victory by the opposing coach
The goalposts on this one just keep moving. Nobody was putting him in the hall of fame
The conversation was about one side calling the draft pick a bust, the other side saying he needed to have consistent quality linemates and could be effective.
Just an effective top 6 player given the opportunity. That was the bar
Bennett may just play out his full career and be retired before some people think we have seen what he is. Then they will have finally been shown to be correct when he’s no longer in the league
