Bennett had four NHL coaches in his time in Calgary. Which one was the "genius"?
But, also, Ryan was a much better centre than Bennett was when the Flames acquired him. Maybe there was some poor patience with Bennett's development that contributed to his shortcomings, but at the stage where the Flames were when Ryan was signed, Bennett was not really an option to do the job they wanted Ryan to do.
Yes. Bennett was mishandled. And, also yes, he was not a very good player in Calgary, and was probably not ever going to be more than a middle-six or second-line centre.
