Awesome! Sounds mostly-bad but still... thanks for the rundown. I don't mind the puck on Perron's stick since he has a lot of talent... but he's certainly going to have to learn to distribute much better if he's going to have a long-term spot next to Crosby or Malkin. It's kind of funny since that's at least part of the reason that they have him on his wrong wing right now, right? So he can take/make passes easier on the breakout?
In any case... everyone seems to agree that Bennett has looked good just about every day of preseason and camp, so far. Same as last year, given. But still a good sign.
BB looked great last pre-season, got hurt, then he was behind the 8 ball all season. I just laughed when JR said they rushed him or whatever nonsense he was sputtering. BB got hurt in college. Then he got hurt in the A. Then he got hurt in the NHL.
Can you spot a pattern?
Anyone who questions his talent to play in the NHL is clueless. He has never put together a full, healthy season since I started following him during his draft year. So it's kind of obvious what needs to happen for him to fulfill his promise.
