There's fault on both sides of that case. But the fault is with GMs and coaches who aren't here, and a player who isn't here. It's 5 years ago. It's time to let it go.

I blame Gulutzan a lot for kind of setting things in motion for Bennett to fall to bottom 6 status but the player has to take some of the blame as well as he didn't play well enough at times. Still he was always one of the Flames best players in the playoffs and performing well in the playoffs was a thing for him before he was a Panther.
