I know there is some expectation to him putting up big points, but the reality is he is extremely young still. I see what he did in December and with consistency if he can do that month to month then I am happy. He does have a habit of of getting frustrated when he isn't producing, probably because he is really hard on himself.

For me I look at his points/60. Granted it is slightly skewed because of the great December but even then his pt/60 is similar to Frolik. With that stat he is pretty much in the same ballpark with the likes of Tartar, Haynes, Meier, Rask, Domi, Atkinson, Sheary, and Vessey. A lot of familiar names that show up in fantasy trades with Bennett.

Bottom line he just needs more time and I am okay with that.
