Bennett was going up against prime Backlund, plus Monahan and Lindholm for center. It was hard to justify moving any of those three to accommodate Bennett at the time. All three were simply better and more productive. Putting Bennett on the wing made sense, but unfortunately he couldn't or wouldn't rise to the challenge. Sometimes players just aren't a fit, which is too bad. Our loss, Florida's gain. I just hope the Flames can take advantage of a situation like this just like the Panthers did.
