Agreed. There were rumors that Bennett and Puljujarvi were part of the Lucic-Neal swap but I am not sure I buy those. That may have been a win-win for the both however

Happy for Sam, he seemed downright miserable in Calgary. I had completely written him off.

I would be genuinely thrilled to see Sam become a top-line player but it's just going to take more than a red-hot two weeks to convince me.

Yeah, he’s got a long way to go. 2nd line player in Florida.
(You should check out all the guys on the Flames this year. If I tell you I’m worried about Tkachuk, Andersson, Markstrom... will it take more than a #### season to convince you about them?)

Tippett is looking better and better all the time too. Really took a big step in his game this year. Nice to see.

Bennett's looked good on the powerplay too which is something we've struggled with all season in Calgary
He was on the ice for both of the Panthers PP goals tonight and had an assist on one of them

Nice backcheck and hit by Bennett on the PP. Laid a guy out. Puck goes the other way and Bennett is almost in all alone with the goalie.
And then Barkov makes a ridiculous play to set up Huberdeau for the goal. Slow confident deke to be face to face with the goalie making him think he will shoot, then calmly dishes it off to Huberdeau.
Damn...this team is good.

Secondary Sam with another scrub assist that doesn't count

IMHO Calgary sheltered him too much. Florida sees him for what he was drafted for.

You need to listen to the Panthers broadcast to hear Steve "Goldie" Goldstein and Red Deer's own Randy Moller!

The Panthers (color?) guy's voice reminds me too much of Raptors color guy Jack Armstrong which really throws me off haha

Bennett will lead the NHL in scoring next year.

They're very good, albeit in a small sample.

So what’s that? 10 points in 7 games for Florida?

A small play around 5:38 left in the 2nd - Bennett received a pass way behind him in the O-Zone corner and made a beautiful move to bring the puck up to his front and maintain possession. Didn't lead to anything, but it was a nice high skill play that showed a lot of confidence.
He's gonna hit bumps in the road, but he's earning more and more leash every game. It also goes to show how some PP time can help build/maintain offensive momentum.

He's had a lot of great shots from the slot/dots and often missed the net. I doubt he'll ever be a sniper, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if he dials in a bit better now that he's getting so many reps/opportunities. That line is generating tons of chances. Huberdeau stirs the drink, but Bennett has been doing exactly what people have clamoured for Gaudreau's C to do.
