He went somewhere where he was played at his position with consistent linemates and fluorished
The underachievers running the Flames recognized his low hockey IQ, according to the guy a few posts up, but he is leading the entire playoffs in goals this year
Why are people putting effort in to talking the guy down? Defending the Flames regime that squandered Tkachuk, let Johnny walk, traded a first to get rid of Monahan, and simply couldn’t figure out the 2 piece puzzle that would get value out of Bennett
It is just weird at this point

I think you're referring to me, as the low hockey IQ comment poster.
i agree with you 100%. The organization did not play Bennett to his strengths. As for Bennett having a low hockey IQ, scoring lots of goals does not mean you have a high hockey IQ. There have been guys who led the league in goals, who were totally unskilled in other aspects besides goal scoring.
