And I agree with you, Bennett could have played better for the Flames in the regular season.
Isn't it more interesting to discuss the Flames and what they could have/should be doing? Spending energy attributing blame or criticizing former players is pointless. Arguing that Bennett shares blame for this regular season play with the Flames is irrelevant when it doesn't change the fact that the team bungled his development.

Yes, it's more interesting to discuss current Flames. Frankly part of my posts are an overreaction to people who insist on bringing up players who haven't been here for years as reasons why present (new) management sucks. This zombie like thread isn't about Sam Bennett so much as griping about the Flames ex-management. You are right, it's irrelevant to anything current.
I've said before, I don't really care about ex-Flames, whether I liked them or not. That includes universally liked Flames icons like post Iginla and Giordano. Didn't root for or against them. Hossa came up on another thread and he had a good stance on hockey life. He was asked if he regretted moving on from Pittsburgh because they won a cup the year he left and he said no, because who knows what would have happened if he was there - different players, different lines, etc.
