No it doesn't. Sidney Crosby has more than zero points. Connor McDavid has more than zero points. Pathetic is the right word to use for a guy like Bennett. Even Curtis Lazar and freakin' Troy Brouwer have points. Bennett is too skilled a guy to have zero points through 10 games.
I am, however, willing to give him a bit of slack and a fresh start on the wing. He clearly isn't going to be an impact player at centre, and I'm hopeful he finds his game on the wing. He's looked much better the last two games there. Hopefully once he gets the first one the flood gates open. If Bennett can score 35-40 points the last 70 games (which I don't think is too crazy an expectation) he'll be
laughing.
