Yeah Canes fans really played him down as a guy that's been plateauing. I have to say, he's a better fit on that line than Neal which I didn't think would happen

In this case it's more from my own opinions of never being impressed by him.

I like the way Snrub thinks!

Bennett:
I’m scoring and playing some great hockey. Can I move away from Mark and play in the top 9?

Flames:
Uhhhhh

Pretty disappointing he hasn't even sniffed top 6 minutes in preseason but if he continues playing like he has, he'll make enough noise to get moved up

The problem with Bennett is the same as always, he doesn't finish. He plays well, creates chances, but he can't finish.

The way Canes fans talked about Lindholm, made it sound like we were getting Frolik 2.0. Lindy looks more like Backlund 2.0, with better hands and finish. Reeeeeally like his game so far.

Really wish fans were better about when they let guys go. If we went by this board, we were getting three absolute duds from Carolina.

It's possible Lindholm just plateaued over in Carolina and fans were unable to reconcile their expectations with what they were getting. It happens.

And Gaudreau's simply on a different level compared to Lindholm's previous linemates.

There's definitely a ton of untapped offensive potential here.

Yup MA Bergeron and Frolik for the re-incarnation of Bobby Orr :sarcasm:

But seriously, there were some pretty brutal revisionist histories on both sides lol
