That was exactly my point, CroFlames. Thank you.
Bennett as a top line producing forward is dead. Bring up the Backlund example all you want but Backlund didn't turn into a top tier player either. His career path pivoted and he became an excellent two-way 2-3 centre. That could still happen with Bennett but the idea of Sam as a 1st line player? Gone. Gone. Gone. Gone.
