Whenever Ward put Bennett on the top line, the numbers sagged.

What is your end game here?
Putting a top draft pick in a position to succeed is a good thing. Florida got what Calgary could not figure out and put him as a 2C .. with consistent line mates , and it worked
Calgary at best put him on the top line 25 percent of the time as a winger, when he is a C… what a vote of confidence
Sutter ? He worked for a bit then got run out of town.
Who cares. Bennett had potential, Calgary mismanaged it, Florida made the fix seem pretty ####ing simple, and unless things go really wrong he will be a key piece in 3 straight Cup finals
It’s a heck of a lot more than his side of the street that needed to be kept clean. So much that he had it with Calgary and said ‘#### this, trade me’
Line mate stats, it’s all been beaten to death, at this point you are hanging on to a narrative that is just weird
