It took a moron coach named Gulutzan thinking he was smarter than anyone else by playing him as a winger on the bottom 2 lines thus derailing his development.

People love to blame Gulutzan, but Hartley was the one who shunted him to the wing for no apparent reason. And it wasn't just to play him with Backlund, either. Bennett spent an excruciating 19 game stretch on Markus Granlund's wing that year. That was one of the worst forward lines I've ever seen.
