Working with people developing them is the hard part trading seems to be easy. Some contend the solution to solve problems is to trade them away.

I think it comes down to Bennett is a beauty, people love him him. Just so frustrating to see him not break out.
It's the 7 steps of Greif
We have been through
1. Shock and Denial: OMG our highest Draft pick ever isnt a Superstar.Psh... he's just a late bloomer, had some injuries, he'll come around.
2. Pain and Guilt: We're not developing him properly. need more skilled players to play with. We failed him.
3. Anger: He Sucks, hes no good. Trade him. Should have traded him when he stkll had potential.
We started the season on:
4. Bargaining: Maybe hes a good 3rd line player who has grit and creates chances. Who knows he could break out someday.
And we are moving into:
5. Depression: If he only had some finish. I could accept a bottom 6 guy if he wasnt a top 4 pick. Why Sam, Why!!??
Soon to come
6. Working through; and
7. Acceptance.
