I honestly don't see why Bennett would sing a long term deal at a steal for the flames. I can see the value from the flames point of view, but not from bennetts.
it's been argued that he's the most talented player on the team and could be the most dedicated to get better.

why wouldn't bet on himself and push for a 2 year bridge deal and then make significantly higher coin after that time when he breaks out?
