Sujet: Instead of Trading Him for Pennies on the Dollar
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Canadianape</b></div><div>im sorry but bennett has been given every possible chance in the last 6 years, he has played pretty much every line combo and every position and he just isnt able to elevate. why would we handicapp lindholm and tkachuk by making them play with a centre who isnt and has never been a top 6 guy. if you move lindholm to wing then backlund becomes our second best centre not bennett.

the pin should have been pulled on this guy 2 years ago but since we waited we will just have to take whatever we can get for him and move on</div></div>

Please explain to me how he has been given "every possible chance." Because let's be honest, the man has been played at 4th line RW, 4th line LW and alongside guys like Jankowski and Brouwer more often than not. He has not been given a chance at his position (Centre) and he has not been given complementary line mates. When did he ever play with Gaudreau? When did he ever play with Lindholm? Heck, when was the last time he played with Backlund before this year?

Sam Bennett has been a trooper and done everything that was asked of him. Unfortunately, every time he does something good (like last year in the bubble or like in his rookie season), manage seems to decide that they've seen enough and set him up to fail instead.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>Yeah this is a lot of bad takes.</div></div>

and yet you post nothing to the contrary
no hockey argument coming at all.
Because there isn't one to be made. Bennett has struggled for multiple years now. He's had one playoff performance and that's it. But that isn't convincing anyone he's got value. Because we've see the other end of it. You can start the convo with bust at this point. Because when you are trading a 4OA for a 4th liner and a 2nd that's where we are at.
Bennett wouldn't beat out Blueger at this point for a 3C position, and the whole need of the penguins is to actually get a 3C instead of having their 4C play that role.
Which is where this whole conversation ends. He's not worth a 2nd.
