Bennett would love this. The rumor is he wants out to play a bigger role. Hopefully we don't play you in the playoffs though. Thats when he comes out

Deep down, I know Bennett has the toolset and elements to be a successful player, and if there is a project the Leafs want to manage, Sam Bennett should be that player to work with

I disagree with the toolset part. He pretty much is what he is, I don’t think he has any elite skills, but he’s a hard worker and a spark plug type guy (same deal as Hyman). If the leafs wanna look at him I think it should be because they need that type of player for the playoffs, not take him in as a reclamation project.

There is a reason why he has never played any special teams, he lacks higher end hockey iq to process the game to be effective . You’re right, he us what he is and that’s just wreckless energy to create a spark. He don’t magically become a top6 player, he is what he is. A physically bottom 6 guy who is poor defensively, a poor shot, takes a lot of penalties, what little offense he might create is over shadowed by his short comings

Same thoughts exactly. I don’t watch Calgary games regularly so I’m kinda guessing but ya. And I don’t necessarily think that skill set he has is a bad thing, it’s useful on skill teams like Calgary and toronto who need an extra spark in the playoffs. But people acting like a team is gonna pick him up to be a dynamic 4OA top 6 player are gonna be disappointed

I agree with your assessment but of course there's plenty of people on this site that think Bennett is a top six player. Like you, I think he's a bottom six player and is a little bit overpaid for what he does.

I don't understand how people come to the conclusion that he belongs in the top six.

and its not a slight on him, its just realistic expectations o the player. He doesnt have an elite aspect to his game t hat can translate to a higher role. This isnt a Burakovsky type player who has an elite shot and shot generation who in an elevated role could succeed.

Bennett can be a useful player to some teams but he really is a niche player who only fills one type of play style. If it works for your team he could help, if not...dont be shocked when he fails

The easiest consensus you can make is that Bennett failed to produce on the bottom 6, however, when played on the top 6, Bennett scored a goal lmao

Omg he scored one goal playing with top players, let's give him the rocket Richard trophy!

But really, on a serious note, @coga16 's breakdown of Bennett's game vs his Burakovsky's game example is the reason reason Bennett should not be played higher than 3rd line minutes.

Like he said, it's not a shot at the guy, he's just is what he is.

In which Sam Bennett is a top 6 forward for any team other than the Calgary Flames lmao
