Easy to figure out GranteedEV ‘s salary rationale when he actually BELIEVES Sam Bennett consistently provides the following attributes for the Flames, as HE POSTED:

Executing precise breakout plays in the defensive zone in traffic (he's the best forward on the team at that)
Reading defensive passing lanes.
Covering the neutral zone with his positioning
Covering the front of the net defensively (as a center)
Helping his defensemen behind the net defensively (as a center moreso)

Effectiveness on zone entries (contrary to popular belief, no, he doesn't just go for a toe drag every time. People just dislike toe drags so much it clouds their perception)
Some of the more deceptive playmaking on our roster when he does have some confidence.
Creates a lot of chances with short passes

There is a lot of reason to see that what he brings to his line and team are positive beyond being "competitive" and "physical". The "Bennett has Low IQ" crowd is incredulous with how fixated on minor things like toe drags (which aren't even the negative they are made out to be) and miss the forest for the trees with the player.


Yep, some of us are “ missing the forest for the trees” and how did we possibly “allow our perception to become so clouded”?

Yeah, you justified and verified everything ... so that’s the ticket to 4.8 mil per for 8 years.
