vadvlfan Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Always hurt. Never met close to expectations. Disappointed although he is veteran. All we need now is Ben Lovejoy to complete the circle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Decent trade - Bennett's nothing special but he's also not bad, if he could stay healthy he'd be a fine 3rd line guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefiestygoat Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Don't mind this at all. They had a pick to spare so why not take a chance on a guy like Bennett? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aylbert Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Well... we didn't have a pick that year - we gave it up for Kovy. So let's say we got Beau Bennett that year; and he hasn't worked out but is a serviceable bottom six? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derlique Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 More of a top 9 guy who has the skill to play anywhere. Pens fans say he's a top6 rw if healthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devils Pride 26 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Very pleased. Always happy if a 3rd round pick turns into a top 9 winger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Meh not happy about another injury prone guy, we have enough of those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarpathianForest Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Bennett is honestly a third liner on any other team, but a 1st or 2nd liner on the Devils, sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Eco Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 We essentially got him for free with that the three 3rd round picks we had. No risk, we'll see what the reward is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SterioDesign Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 so in the last few years we got Havlat, Clowe, Cammalleri and now Bennett... Makes me feel pretty good that we'll end up pis Lupul and/or Stamkos this summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neb00rs Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 He was brought up as a potential trade option either last year or the year before on this board if I remember correctly. People seem more down on him now than they were back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas0nMacIsaac Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 (edited) While always being injured he still is a 1.28 P/60 player. i think he fits in well with Henrique and Cammalleri. He generally decent at shots/60 as well. Edited June 26, 2016 by Jas0nMacIsaac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas0nMacIsaac Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Just now, SterioDesign said: so you see him top 6 over DSP or Palmieri? Well between the 1st and 2nd line, where one slots is all chemistry. Both play roughly the same amount of minutes 5 on 5. I would most definitely play him ahead of DSP.

Yeah i guess this is what our roster could look like so far... if we bring back Elias, is Zacha cracks the lineup and if we re-sign a few guys. We'd still need to land a legit 1st line guy ??? - Zajac - Palmieri Cammalleri - Henrique - Bennett Elias - Zacha - DSP Blandisi - Josefson - Boucher Green - Larsson Severson - Merril Schlemko - Moore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He either gets top 9 LW minutes or he's completely useless. I love the man but I do not want Elias back. He does not fit in his team anymore. I would rather have Boucher and Blandisi on the second and third line spots. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bennett will never see 1st or 2nd line. No offensive ability. DSP has more for sure. Wonder if they bring back Schlemko? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Well i know but that's kind of the problem where do you put him? and thats kind of what i was saying yesterday. We always seem to have too many guys that are kind of "you kind of want to keep them but you already have guys like that filling that role" its obviously good in a way to have a flexible lineup but it seems all over the place we litterally have no "anchors" like... this is legit that guy spot. Zajac should be an anchor 2nd line center. But then is Henrique really a first line center? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
