Trading Bennett was the move that cost us the series against the oilers and potentially years of contention. I will die on this hill.
He always should’ve been developed alongside tkachuk to form another duo ala monny and Johnny
He has a playoff mode all right. But he is still a .5 PPG sort of guy, who gets hurt a lot and takes penalties. He was never going to be better as an NHL centre than Lindholm and probably not better than Backlund.

There are guys that get you there and there are guys that get you through. Bennett seems to be the guy that shows up in the playoffs
