He's been amazing in every playoffs he has been in. His full potential is fully released when he is #2 behind Barkov, though. And that is not to take anything away from Bennett, but being on Florida is the perfect scenario for him.
I still think talks of him getting 10mil plus per year are crazy. I see him as the perfect #2 center. That lifts his play to become an elite #1b center come playoffs.

Pretty much exactly this. We got glimpses of his playoff play but we did a poor job of player development in this case. The one positive I take (besides killing the Oilers) is that our drafting the last few years has been legit. We do a pretty good job picking guys, now if we can just develop and manage better we could be in business.
It sucks that our two highest draft picks ever aren't doing this for us, but at least they're bringing it against dumpsterville.
