Except results supports one perspective and contradicts another. This is a guy that has been out-scored by Nail Yakupov, one of the great busts of our time. Bennett was a massive failure. Accept it and move forward. Give Treliving props for finding another sucker that believes in Bennett's aura rather than the results put forward. Take the two 2nd rounders and spike the football as a success, forgetting that Sam Bennett ever existed in a Flames uniform. To me, this is Sven Baertschi all over again. The deal has been made, be happy with the return, and never reference the fact that this soon to be Euro-league has been was ever part of the Flames. He's the Panthers' problem moving forward, and we should be happy that is how his legacy will be remembered.
