Ranked #1

We absolutely love this kid, the type of player you win championships with. An effortless skater with exceptional quickness and speed. Skilled centreman has an absolutely relentless, and unmatched compete level. Strong on the puck. Plays on the edge with grit. Very elusive in open ice he’s untouchable. Combines skill with a non-stop motor. Exceptional effort on the forecheck creates havoc and turnovers from d-men. Extraordinary desire/determination. Highly skilled with the puck on his stick and difficult to contain in the offensive zone. Tremendous vision and playmaking ability. Has sneaky hard shot with a lightning fast release, comes up with the big goals in big moments. His nasty streak forces defenders to move the puck quicker than they’d like. Plays dirty which makes him tough to play against, but also takes a few penalties. Strong personal character and captain material.

Projection: Gritty, skilled, two-way #1 centre & captain.
Style compares to: A better skating Doug Gilmour

Man #### Burke's old school numbers, at least give Bennett the one exception.

It's not that hard to be more excited than moon

Bennett! So awesome! My stream cut off right when Treliving said "Sam" and I freaked out...missed half of the experience

True, and ecstatic that we have good minds running our board. I also love how Burke went straight to the Bennett family. Burke is such a rock for what is the building of a new team family as well.

Amazing. We're doing it right here.

Love that these two picks back to back take pressure off other centers to be "the" guys. No one is putting an expectations on guys like Granlund and Jankowski now. We have legit top line middlemen. Can't understate how important this drafting Monahan and Bennett in back to back drafts is.

Over the moon excited. Bennett was my #1 for a while now. Love this player.
This was one of the first things to pop into my head, no mention at all of Jankowski by the TSN panel. Now he can completely develop in the background and possibly come around in a few years. But either way we have our top 2 guys. Bennett was the one I wanted from the start, seems to have an unreal attitude, a real team first type guy. Glad we got him.

Thankfully based on Burke's history and Treliving's comments on how to bring young players along they won't rush them. Bennett will be brought along properly.

Great day to be a Flames fan.
And why I love the new mentality that the only way to get to Calgary, is through the Ahl. For the first time in a decade, I have faith in this team. I'm happily patient now. Time to build a strong, solid elite organization.

Anyone on CP watch Bennett this year? What is his 118 PIMs consist of? Undicipline play? Or just being damn gritty?
