Getting very annoying.
I wouldn't worry just yet. But I also wouldn't expect Benn to PPG player every year. He definitely carries more value in my leagues because of peripheral categories. And as good as he is offensively, I don't think he's on the level of guys like Crosby, Malkin, McDavid, Stamkos etc... Not to downplay him, but I would generally expect 70 points + from him, but not necessarily 80 points + year to year. He had 2 PPG+ seasons in a row. I think he will have more PPG seasons but not every year. It really depends a lot on expectations. I'm still quite happy with him if he has a 75 point season. But yea, if you are looking for guaranteed PPG + seasons every year I think you might want to try and trade him.
He was never going to keep up what he did from 2014-2016. But I don't expect him to fall too far either, I think 70 points in 82 games will probably be his floor most years. But I also doubt he will ever have 90+ point seasons either. He's just a notch below those types offensively.
