The fact Bennett is not a star by 21 has people calling him a bust. He has had nothing but terrible linemates under Gulutzan and has his confidence widdle away. His shift to the wing came late and he still has no confidence.
If Bennett is traded love him to Florida or Carolina or somewhere that it won’t sting to watch him turn into an effective player.
Personally I fire Gulutzan before trading Bennett and see if a new coach can get him going. Obviously that isn’t the only reason I fire Gulutzan but it is in the pile of things he does that make me question if he is the right coach for this team.

I agree with you for the most part, I just think the possibility of Bennett busting is real and I see posters constantly dismissing it because he's young. This is his third year in the NHL, he's not new to this whole thing. If there were any signs that he's improving that would be different, but I'm just not seeing it from him right now.
