BEnnet seems very high on "have to play with very good to great players, to be a producing, positive player.
As someone stated before, I guess he just is not smart enough,
I don’t think it’s that he’s “not smart enough”, he’s just simply not a play driver. Not everyone has to be. Realistically, you should have 1 or 2 play drivers, preferably in the top 6. Bennett was relied too much in Calgary to get things going. And he would, but only during playoff time. During the regular season I think he was too desperate for someone else to get things going and then he’d follow suit. But, hard to do that with the quality of line mates he had. Or, he was committing too many penalties to garner any kind of responsibility. Either one of those things happened or both at the same time. In conclusion, 50% Calgary’s fault for the mismanagement of Bennett (coaches included), 50% Bennett himself. Hoping he continues to play well in Florida, because Huberdeau > Gaudreau/Tkachuk.
