@OkimLom I'd say Calgary sees Bennet as not at the level where they thought he would be at this point in time, but they have work with what they have.
In my eyes Sam is playing below expectations from where he was projected to be as a two-way, high-end first line center. Simple as that. He's only 22 though, and a lot can change in a couple of years. I think he'll be a great player moving forward, but I don't know if he'll ever reach his projected ceiling at the time he was drafted.
If Sam was playing 2nd line center and put up 40-50 points this year while bringing an effective 2-way game, I'd have no reason to complain about him. But he just hasn't shown he has the ability to be that player that we thought he would be.
